30 hours of staring at this....




And it apparently.... worked?  Allegedly shrank it from 120 to 101GB.  Will have to see if it boots tonight..

Good lord.

what kind of PC do you have?
If you say i5 based system i'll just compile my own distro on the RPI 3.
would take about 27 hrs less.

pbj:
I was running it on a Raspberry Pi 3.  64GB micro SD card, with about half of it free.  The .img I was compressing was an on external USB drive.  So, essentially, the slowest possible way to accomplish this.
