LZMS Compression

Post by Blackops12345678910 »

Hi,

I am looking for ways to compress my WIM file down to the absolute minimunm whilst being able to mount it using DISM (Or the powershell cmdlets which utilise DISM). The LMZS compression method does not allow the wim to be mounted via dism. This occurs with both Solid and Non solid compression.

Is there any way for me to utilise the LMZS compression whilst allowing the wim to be mountable?

If not, what switches can i utilise to further compress the WIM (Using the standard LZX compression which is currently mountable using DISM) and exceed what can be done with DISM compress:max

Thanks

If you absolutely need your WIM image to be mountable with DISM, then unfortunately the best you can do is use LZX compression at the maximum level (and with the default compression chunk size, 32K). Use --compress=lzx:100.
