30.5 File Compression is Not Working

If you cannot compress a file, check the following:

  • Check the Compression attribute for the volume to make sure it is enabled. To apply the file compression option to an existing NSS volume: From iManager, click Storage > Volumes > Properties > Attributes, select Compression, then click OK.

  • Check to see if the Do Not Compress (dc) attribute for the file or directory is set.

  • Review other factors that affect compression, as detailed in Factors Affecting Compression.
