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...
For that purpose, use something that can TRIM a VM image, like
virt-sparsify.
That's doing the same thing.
virt-sparsify works by mounting the filesystem, filling it to capacity
with zeros, then performing a copy operation which skips over the
all-zero blocks, leaving them unallocated in the sparse destination
file.
