No, compressalways will not override exclude.compress. The option simply says not to retry if compression grows the size. The legacy LZW compression can grow files that are already in a compressed format. The newer LZ4 compression should not grow an already compressed file. In that respect, it's similar to the compression that LTO tape drives can do. ..Paul -- Paul Zarnowski Ph: 607-255-4757 Assistant Director for Storage Services Fx: 607-255-8521 IT at Cornell / Infrastructure Em: p...@cornell.edu 719 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-3801
