4GB Limit
[edit]rzip indeed works really well on large files. Trying to compress a 4.5GB vmdk (vmware image) file gave a better(1.92G) compression, compared to 7z (2.07G), rar (2.21G), bzip2 (2.44G).
Uncompressing was another matter though, the resulting file was truncated to 800M. It looks like 4GB is the limit, at least on a 32bit linux system.
- Perhaps there was another reason for the truncation; was the machine perhaps out of disk-space? Sladen
Decompression
[edit]I understand that rzip requires a lot of memory to compress, but the article says nothing about how much is required for decompression. -- Error (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
