Compactation taking too long?
Hello!
We have a 30T MSDP with 70% used, we expire a lot of images recently but the storage wouldn't go down, so the next logical step was to run de compactation via CRCONTROL, but it's taking too long? I started the proccess 2 days ago and it's still compacting, but the storage don't seems to respond to this.
What am I doing wrong? the logs seems fine (I think...)

yes. compaction reorganize the data containers and it is a slow progress.
