I have not. I've just took a pause to do some additional reading and to
experiment a little.
I've tried 'tune2fs -m 1.0 /dev/sdXY' (found in Arch docs for Ext4).
The result was quite interesting. Both Nautilus and "df" showed the used

"-m" option default value is 5% (!) = 50 GB space. No minimal reserved
space is specified/recommended in man pages.
GParted allocated to file system 1.616% = 29.42GB (quite generous against
default 5%).
For NTFS, on the other hand, only 0.0067% w

Hi folks,
I've purchased a new WD Passport 2T USB hard drive, which, no doubts,came
formated NTFS. I've used GParted to quickly format the drive to Ext4 and
results surprised me quite a bit (all results as reported by GParted):

Hi Folks;
Is there a program that will write zeros to a Linux
partition? I need to clean up a hard drive and doing
a mke2fs does not erase the old data, so that is not
a formatting program.
The reason is that with each new installation of
Debian 2.2 I get worse and worse response from the
distro.

That applies to the version of ftape which is included in the kernel.

Actually, yes, t
Ftape-3.04d includes the ftformat command. I have installed it from
source, but there is now a .deb package, at least in hamm. The man page
indicates it will format QIC-80 tapes, but I haven't done that.

Is there any way to format a Qic-80 tape on a ftape device? I don't
