what in the world..... I ran out of diskspace. huh? why didn't I run out the first time I did this? Well.... before it ran out of memory There were a total of 8 files each 700MB (well, #7 was probably smaller). The first time I did this there was a total of 5 files with #5 being more than 600MB. I did everything the same except for the size of the input file. On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 7:07 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > it's weird..... I archived 200GB in about 5 or 6 hours.
