CentOS 6.7/Ext4

I saw zerofree, but I’m not sure it would work on Ext4 or even work on

I don't understand the point of doing this.

Wes didn't say the reason he wanted to zero unused blocks, but I always do this in kickstart scripts when constructing VM images as the image size is considerably reduced by doing this...
