Anne runs an application that store her information in D:\datafiles folder , the average size of each file is 864 bytes . Anne is running out of disk space in her computer. You have enabled NTFS compression. You want to use the available storage on D: to the Maximum efficiency , what should do you?
A.run compact /c/f/s d:\datafiles to recompress the disk
B.run compact /c/i/s d:\datafiles to recompress the disk
C.copy the contents of D: to a secure location on the network , refomat drive D: as NTFS wth a 521 bytes cluster. Restore and compress .
D.copy the contents of D: to a secure location on the network , refomat drive D: as NTFS wth a 8K bytes cluster. Restore and compress | |

| Well... Here is the goods on the compact command:
quote:
Compact
Displays and alters the compression of files or directories on NTFS partitions.
compact [/c|/u] [/s[:dir]] [/a] [/q] [/i] [/f] [filename[...]]
Parameters
none
Used without parameters, compact displays the compression state of the current directory.
/c
Compresses the specified directory or file.
/u
Uncompresses the specified directory or file.
/s:dir
Specifies that the requested action (compress or uncompress) be applied to all subdirectories of the specified directory, or of the current directory if none is specified.
/a
Displays hidden or system files.
/q
Reports only the most essential information.
/i
Ignores errors.
/f
Forces compression or uncompression of the specified directory or file. This is used in the case of a file that was partly compressed when the operation was interrupted by a system crash. To force the file to be compressed in its entirety, use the /c and /f parameters and specify the partially compressed file.
I don't see the Compact command helping at all. I think the secret is in the Allocation Unit size... A smaller size will allow less wasted disk space. The setting is 512 bytes throught 256K in size so 521 fits. Since the majority of the files seem to be small as well there shouldn't be any significant performance hit...
So my answer is C! |
