TL;DR: In this article, a first compression is performed on a first set of data to create first compressed data, and then a second compression on a second set of compressed data is performed to create second compressed data.
Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to managing compressed data to optimize file compression. A first compression is performed on a first set of data to create first compressed data. The first compressed data is stored in one or more blocks of a first compression group. A size of free space of a last block of the first compression group is discovered and calculated. A second compression is performed on a second set of data to create second compressed data. At least a portion of the second compressed data is supplied to the first compression group for padding into the last block in response to determining that the size of the free space is sufficient. An unpadded portion of the second compressed data is stored in one or more blocks of a second compression group.
