...e torture test with a file almost as large as system memory that was already compressed. The results were the infamous lock up, stutter, cant kill the cp/dd command, oh god, system console is unresponsive too, what has science done?!?!. In the past threads I dug up, it seems that people were using wimpier hardware or gzip-9 and running into this. I ran into it with very capable hardware. I do not get this behavior using the default lzjb compression, and I was able to also produce it using weaker gzip-3 compression. Is there a fix for this I am not aware of? Workaround? Etc? gzip compression works...
