Hi,

I got some disk volumes that I just want to "erase" "on demand".
Indeed, theses ones were not recycled for various reasons (not in the
good pool, new job upgraded to full, bad retention times…)
I don't want to delete theses volumes because I want to check that in
the time theses volumes will be recycled and so I can validate my
backup strategy.

All I want is to free the space used by theses old volumes because
they have been purged .

I thought in keeping the file and writing a null value into it : maybe
something like echo "" > /Volumes/LabelOfTheVolume
I want to keep the label in order to reuse the volume

Thank you in advance
