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? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miguel González" <miguel_3_gonzalez at yahoo.es> To: "centos" <centos at centos.org> Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2017 5:11:33 AM Subject: [CentOS] claiming unsused space back 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!
