Normally, when VSTORE verifies a compressed store media, it reads in
each record and decompresses it. This results in a thorough verification of the
media by checking both the integrity of the data on the media as well as the
correctness of the compression algorithm. If the NODECOMPRESS option
is specified, VSTORE will only read the records from the media. It
will not decompress them. This verifies only that there are no media errors on
the media. on the media. It also speeds up the VSTORE process, since
it does not have to perform the decompression.
This option should be used when the time to verify compressed store media is a
prime concern. In most cases, full verification should be done to ensure that
the data was compressed and written without error.
The NODECOMPRESS option can only be used with VSTORE,
