Description João Henrique 2015-04-09 22:36:58 UTC

Sometimes we need to transfer/keep images created by wic. Usually the images is not so big but along the time this becomes a problem.

An option could be added to wic allowing directdisk to be compacted.

stat directdisk-201504032052-sda.direct (48004096)

after bzip2 we have:

stat directdisk-201504032052-sda.direct.bz2 (9093153)
