		<description><![CDATA[With really large disk arrays, you can find instance numbers piling up very quickly, and worse, they can make path managers such as DynaPath, Power Path and Secure Path exceed their limits. This is especially true if you are deleting and re-adding devices. Fortunately, there is a relatively easy way to accomplish this task.   [...]]]></description>

Then the old file is removed, leaving the compressed version. The worst case for an uncompressible file is that twice the amount of space will be needed temporarily.

		<description><![CDATA[  When working with large, multi-product depots such as the Internet Express collection, it is often desirable to extract a single product or small group of products to create a small depot. The technique is quite simple. Here are two examples: # swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /var/tmp/iExpress-1of3 ProFTPD @ /tmp/prod1 # swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s [...]]]></description>
