Content
Alternatively, or in addition, agents may be configured to write all zeros to the blocks whose contents are no longer needed. The underlying block storage system can recognize all-zero blocks and avoid having to actually store the all-zero content. Subsequent reads can return the same all-zero data. The garbage-collection-based storage systems may treat the zeroed blocks as free space.
