HcMinFileSizeForComp Metabase Property

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The HcMinFileSizeForComp allows you to specify the minimum number of bytes a file must contain for it to be compressed using on-demand compression. Very small files do not compress well, and in some cases, compression may even make the file larger than it was initially.

If HcMinFileSizeForComp is set to 0 (zero), all files are compressed.
