I have a CF card with two partitions - one ext2 and the other ext3. I want to create an image for the card but since it's about 1Gb in size, the image requires compressing before it can be ftp'd.
Is there a way to zero out any unused areas in the FS in order to optimise the compression?
Many thanks,
Stuart.
