| Our forked version of Gzip adds a patch to add the <tt>--rsyncable</tt> option, which creates an "rsync-friendly" archive. This option used by <tt>vzdump</tt> utility
| |
| | |
| Here is the full description of this option:
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>
| |
| "While compressing, synchronize the output occasionally based on the
| |
| input. This reduces compression by about 1 percent most cases, but
| |
| means that the <tt>rsync</tt> program can take advantage of similarities
| |
| in the uncompressed input when syncronizing two files compressed with
| |
| this flag. <tt>gunzip</tt> cannot tell the difference between a
| |
| compressed file created with this option, and one created without it."
