The Fedora 20 repo includes a utility called 'scrub' and it has a mode to scrub free space.

    Before sending the drive for warranty service, what is the best way to
    clean the unallocated blocks?

    The rest of the files on disk are OK - standard installation, ... etc.
    All home dirs are deleted, tmp dirs, logs ....etc all deleted.
    If you can think of other things to delete, pls let the world know.

    Thanx.


Thanx Ted.
I had forgotten all about scrub.
Now if only someone would tell me how to locate the journal blocks.

If I mount the drive with the journaling disabled, will the blocks usually
used for journaling become free blocks, and thus be covered by scrub???
