this is from Metalink:
==============================
o How do you create a compressed export file?
If you have calculated the size of the file your export will produce and
it is too large to fit onto disk, you may want to consider producing a
compressed export file as an alternative to exporting directly to tape.
Please note, this method should be thoroughly tested before being
implemented.
- To create a compressed export file:
1. Create a unix named pipe :
os> mknod /tmp/exp_pipe p
2. Start compress in the background reading in from the named pipe,
writing out to 'export.dmp.Z' :
os> compress < /tmp/exp_pipe > export.dmp.Z &
3. Start the export, specifying the named pipe as the output file :
os> exp file=/tmp/exp_pipe <other options>
==============================
