I used to maintain backports of zerofree (the kernel patch, not the
utility) to EL4 and EL5, but since I wasn't actually using them I gave
up.  The last RPMs I have are from December of last year.  Contact me
directly if you want them.

I don't recommend the ext3 patch as it hasn't seen much use.  I regularly
use the ext2 version (on Fedora 9), but be warned that Ted has expressed
concerns about it.
