hi bb...@ncf.ca 
thanks for the reply. so if I have a 40 GB hard drive and i use 17 
GB of space on it. I can use G4U to write that image to the network 
hard drive. It won't write 40 GB will it? It will just write the 17 GB 
of used space and compress the size down, right? Sorry for the noob 
question.
thanks, 
jon jon
I have an image of a 40gig drive.  I zero the free space as suggested on 
the g4u website and I defrag the drive before imaging.  The drive has xp 
on it and office and I am using 6.48 GB of the 40 GB.  The g4u image 
size is 3.2GB and I use the GZIP=1 option when I create the image 
because I desire speed more than small image size.  I don't find using 
GZIP=1 to increase the size that much anyway but it sure makes a 
difference on speed.  Perhaps someone else could comment as to why this 
is the case?

Why what exactly is the case?

Personally, I find comopressing 40GB of data (OK, of which "only" 6.5GB is 
used) down to 3.2GB pretty good.

[g4u-help] Writing image to the FTP

[Manuel Beltrandelrio]

At what point does g4u start writing the image to the FTP server?

 

I ask this because I see that 41987 MB have already been processed by g4u at
a rate of around 600 KB/s, but nothing has been written to the FTP server
yet.

 

I run df -h before running g4u and found out that the FTP partition had 100
GB available.  After g4u has been running for a while and 41987 MB have
already been processed, I still see 100 GB available in the FTP partition.

 

Thanks,

Manuel
