39    Using the extra space
40    ---------------------
41    If your usb device is more than 400MB in size, the above command will
42    leave the remaining space unused. To verify it, execute the command:
43    
44    fdisk -l /dev/sdc
45    
46    You should get something similar to this:
47

58    As you can see, we are currently using 348 out of 1000 cylinders of the

1496    Lzma method is becoming obsolete, and both xz and lzip are attempting to
1497    become its successor. They are a bit less powerful compression methods than
1498    lzma, but much faster. The differences between xz and lzip are virtually
1499    non-existent.
1500    
1501    If you don't use the i486 version of Clonezilla-SysRescCD and your
1502    processor contains multiple cores and/or supports Hyper-Threading, parallel
1503    gzip, bzip2, xz and lzip compression methods are also available. Parallel
1504    compression means that each processor core compresses a different part of the
1505    image at a time. Without parallel compression one core compresses everything.
1506    
1507    The speed impact caused by parallel compression depends on the number
1508    of processor cores available. In addition, Hyper-Threading increases the
1509    speed by about 30 % if parallel compression is used. For example, if your
1510    processor contains four cores and supports Hyper-Threading, speed with
1511    parallel compression is nearly 5,2 times as high as without. However,
1512    parallel compression is currently an experimental feature.
