Hi All,
I have a fedora 30 bootable flash drive. /dev/sda5 is my "Linux
Swap". To zero out my swap space to make it more friendly
with gzip?
Should have said: How do I zero out
I would try just dd'ing /dev/zero across it, but I am afraid I
might break some file structure or some other stuff.
Many thanks,

Found this:
Zeroing out FreeBSD swap space?

Which said to just dd it. But it is for Free BSD, not Linux.
