zum - free disk space by making holes in files
Contents
Description
zum reads a files list on the command line and attempts to perforate these files. Perforation means,
that series of `0' bytes are replaced by lseek(2)s, thus giving the file system a chance of not
allocating real disk space for those bytes.
Example
find.-typef-print0|xargs-0zum
If you zum under /boot, where your kernel image lives, your system will become unbootable unless you run
lilo again.
