  • 1.  How big is the SAVFL definition size ?

    Posted May 07, 2013 01:46 AM

    Hi people,

    I'm not sure if this is the issue of my long outstanding failed LUA server or this is just the normal SAVFL client update 1.9 GB in size ?

    I have just made my LUA server v2.3.2 working to download the updates from the internet since many moons ago, I saw that the update size was 1.9 GB, but then I was very surprised and confused since the size of the definition is 1.9 GB pushed to the SAVFL client ?

    why the size is so big ?

    The initial download will be quite large but after that they should be smaller. Since it contains all the definition content you can still expect a size of over 1Gb

    I can understand for server side definition updates, but for the client ? 1.9 GB is not normal, it is like installing the whole SEPM server into every Linux client.

    however after extraction the size will grow further.
