This tool removes blocks of 0x00 from files by replacing them with phantomblocks. That way, a file uses less diskspace while its contents hasn't changed at all! BEWARE: after copying these files with tar, cp, cpio or any other tool, the phantomblocks have been replaced with 0x00-blocks again! EXAMPLE: find / -type f -print | xargs -n 1 phantom -r -i This would go trough the whole harddisk, scan all files and generate 0x00-blocks where necessary.
