Hi John,
The resulting file of your command is not compressed. Use -z in order to
compress the output.
To compress the existing file, run ./nfdump -j netflow_dump.20120606
This should considerably shrink the size.
Maybe I should make compression the default, as compatibility to those
uncompressed days is long back ....
