How can swapoff be that slow? @Nils: Yes, the priority is the same and so are the the disk and their partitioning. |

How can swapoff be that slow? @Petr Pudlák: Suspend to disk is a bit different, it simply writes the RAM content into a free space in the swap area, and this (and un-suspend) is probably much faster. I can't try as it doesn't work with encrypted swap. |

Best compression of similar files? @Huygens: AFAIK you're wrong. All compression programs I know work with some window (typically 64 kB) and see nothing beyond it as stated e.g. here on page 7. |

Best compression of similar files? @jw013: I don't think rdiff-backup would do, as it's efficient with slowly evolving files, while all I have now is a set of old snapshots. Things like obnam or bup would help (but the former requires a newer system while the latter has still problems with removal from the backup). |

Best compression of similar files? @Mat: In the meantime I've tried lrzip, but it was extremely slow (many hours for some 100 GB). However, there might have been a problem with the NTFS partition the data were on. |

What are inodes good for? I've meant "file" in the sense of "file or directory or whatever". What you write is true, but I'd rather call it nuisance than usage. |
