I am trying to zero out all the unused disk space in the FBSD system
Hard Drive.
Using this command
dd if=/dev/zero of=filler bs=1m

but get error message saying file system full and have file named
filler.

I don't think this commands is doing what I want.

How can I check to see if the unused space is all zeros?

Help please.
