Hi ICPUG,
My guess is that in the worse case scenario (of a very slow computer) the amount RAM required
for the pipe to work properly is the size of the data that you need to compress into the cloop file
which in this case is about 9GB. So I would recommend the use of a swap file larger than 9GB.
Best Regards,
Gilles
