Enabling compression

[dslauter]

I have zimbra 8.0.6 installed with the wonderful Zextras Suite.

I enabled compression on the Zimbra store(I only have one volume), will the compression happen automatically? Or will only new items be compressed?

Hello dslauter!

Compression will kick in only for new items, while old items will remain uncompressed.

If you wish to compress all items, my suggestion would be to create a new compressed volume, set it as current, and move all the data in the old one to the new volume using the following ZeXtras CLI command:

zimbra@test:~$ zxsuite powerstore doVolumeToVolumeMove


Syntax:
   zxsuite powerstore doVolumeToVolumeMove {source_volume_name} {destination_volume_name} 


PARAMETER LIST


NAME                          TYPE      
source_volume_name(M)         String    
destination_volume_name(M)    String    


(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter


Usage example:


zxsuite powerstore doVolumeToVolumeMove sourceVolume destVolume
Moves the whole sourceVolume to destVolume
