Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

zerofree is a utility for ext2 filesystems that will scan the list of free blocks in a filesystem and fill with zeroes any blocks that do not already contain zeroes. This RPM also includes the sparsify utility, which will scan all files in an ext2 filesystem and ensure that they are maximally sparse. See http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/uml/index.html for more info.
