Downloading then Extracting a Tar File Efficiently Using Disk Space

Open haliliceylan opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

I have 1.8 TB of disk space available. I am currently downloading a snapshot, which is 832 GiB in size (tar.zstd). Is there an option to delete the archive while extracting it to manage disk space efficiently? Additionally, how much space should I expect the extracted archive to occupy? During the download, we can redirect stdout to tar to extract the tar file without saving it, but how can we achieve this after the download? I am concerned that my disk space might not be sufficient. Thanks.
