Hi,
Why wandering off-topic? This is about CentOS on VPSes. I can´t remember which Debian or Ubuntu commands I found since I didn´t use them.
I´m allowing dd to totally fill the partition and the OS is surviving perfectly (It´s a web server and works fine as long as I don´t keep it "full" too long).
Regarding other comments that I have read:
I´m using qcow2, I don´t need to shrink the HD size since sometimes it grows temporarily (backups).
Regards,
Miguel

I realize this is wandering off-topic but, if you have found Debian commands, you're doing better than me. What are they? Also, are you allowing dd to totally fill the partition (what I have found on the web as a recommendation)? If so, is the OS surviving acceptably?

Hi,
I´m running a CentOS server in a VPS. Backups of the VPS take quite much space if I don´t claim unused space.
Currently I´m using dd if=/dev/zero of=/mytempfile and remove that file to claim that unused space. Any automatic way of doing a similar thing in CentOS? I have googled for it but I have only found Debian commands.
Thanks in advance!
