  Description     : zero free blocks from ext2/3 filesystems





Thibaut.

Zerofree finds the unallocated, non-zeroed blocks in an ext2 or ext3 filesystem and fills them by zeroes. This is useful if the device on which this filesystem resides is a disk image. In this case, depending on the type of disk image, a secondary utility may be able to reduce the size of the disk image after zerofree has been run. Zerofree has been written to be run from GNU/Linux systems installed as guest OSes inside a virtual machine. If this is not yourr case (in particular if you do not understand the previous sentence), you almost certainly don't need this package.
