Oh I know that! I'm just saying that I may try lzma'ing the kernel and
rootfs's to see what kind of savings I get over gzip. :)
The answer is "whoa". 24 megabyte compressed kernel + MDROOT drops to
6.5 megabytes with gzip -9 and a few bytes shy of 5 megabytes with a
default lzma compress.
Interesting question: What is the impact on boot speed?
It could be a lot faster to load 5MB from disk and
decompress to a 24MB image than to wait for 24MB from
disk.
This is +1 for GEOM_ULZMA too if it's as effective for the mfs itself.
I'll toy with that later.
Let us know what you find.
