dot_clean command

[h9826790]

Hi, I am just a normal Mac user, not very familiar with the terminal command.

I sometimes use dot_clean command to clean up a USB external HDD, which is for my TV.

May I know is there any way to use this command to clean up the whole drive?

At this moment, I only know how to clean up each folder one by one.

Million thanks in advance!

dot_clean is already recursive, so you just have point it to the root. For instance:

dot_clean /Volumes/MyDrive

You can see the exact volume name with these commands (or through Finder > Get Info):

ls /Volumes
df

Thank you very much, may be because I read some very old info on the internet (from memory, it's about OSX 10.5 ), that's why it says dot-clean is not recursive.

Anyway, thanks for the info. It makes my life easier.
