* ``--non-blocking`` Zstash will submit a Globus transfer and immediately create a subsequent tarball. That is, Zstash will not wait until the transfer completes to start creating a subsequent tarball. On machines where it takes more time to create a tarball than transfer it, each Globus transfer will have one file. On machines where it takes less time to create a tarball than transfer it, the first transfer will have one file, but the number of tarballs in subsequent transfers will grow finding dynamically the most optimal number of tarballs per transfer.
