Hello all, I am updating a system that has been around for some time now. I would like to make a compressed disk image after the final setup is complete, although, I'm guessing that the unused blocks will not allow me to compress the image as well as I could with a previously clean disk (considering the disk has been in use for some time now). Is there a way to do this - zero out unused blocks to optimize compression? I generally do this with Windows machines using the cipher command (killing cipher after it has finished writing zeroes). After running cipher I use dd to create a compressed HDD image for later use. I'd like to be able to do the same with FreeBSD.
