I have a system with HP-UX 11.23 installed on it. There are ~36GB of unused space on the HDD. I did a very basic installation, and it created the usual volume group /dev/vg00. When I look at the output of ioscan -funC disk, I see this (and more, but irrelevant to this post):
How do I "see" the unused hard drive space? I am looking at the size of the "slices" and here is what I am seeing:
Normally on a Linux system I could do something like "fdisk -l /dev/sda" to see the partition table for /dev/sda, or I could do "fdisk /dev/sda" to view and/or edit the partition table for that device.

Hi guys...
The first active code line in AudioScope.sh is set -u .
This causes a complete exit if a variable is used/found but has not been allocated at the start of the program.

NTFSWIPE(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSWIPE(8)NAME
ntfswipe - overwrite unused space on an NTFS volume
SYNOPSIS
ntfswipe [options] device
DESCRIPTION
ntfswipe clears all or part of unused space on an NTFS volume by overwriting with zeroes or random bytes.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfswipe accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by
- and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
-fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
-a, --all
Wipe all unused space. This may take significant time. If the option --unused-fast (or -U) is also present, the faster wiping method
is used.
-b, --bytes BYTE-LIST
Define the allowed replacement bytes which are drawn randomly to overwrite the unused space. BYTE-LIST is a comma-separated list of
values in range 0-255 expressed in octal, decimal or hexadecimal base.
-c, --count NUM
Define the number of times the unused space is to be overwritten. If both options --bytes and --count are set, the space is repeat-
edly overwritten this number of times by each of the values in the list.
-d, --directory
Wipe all the directory indexes, which may contain names of deleted files.
-f, --force
This will override some sensible defaults, such as not using a mounted volume. Use this option with caution.
-h, --help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
-i, --info
Display details about unused space, without wiping anything.
-l, --logfile
Overwrite the logfile (update journal).
-m, --mft
Overwrite the unused space in the MFT (main file table, which contains the file names, and the contents of short files).
-n, --no-action
Executes the wiping process without writing to device.
-p, --pagefile
Overwrite the Windows swap space.
-q, --quiet
Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.
-s, --undel
Overwrite the space which had been allocated to a file which has been deleted recently and is still undeletable. This option is not
compatible with --bytes and the replacement bytes are random ones or taken from a standard list.
-t, --tails
Overwrite the space at the end of files which is unused, but allocated because the allocations are always done by full clusters.
-u, --unused
Overwrite the space which is currently not allocated to any file (but may have been used in the past).
-U, --unused-fast
Overwrite the space which is currently not allocated to any file, trying not to overwrite the space not written to since the previ-
ous wiping.
-v, --verbose
Display more debug/warning/error messages. This option may be used twice to display even more messages.
-V, --version
Show the version number, copyright and license of ntfswipe.
EXAMPLES
Wipe out all unused space in an NTFS volume.
ntfswipe -a /dev/sda1
Wipe out all deleted file names from an NTFS volume.
ntfswipe -dms /dev/sda1
