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, -T
Found this: Zeroing out FreeBSD swap space? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/219557/zeroing-out-freebsd-swap-space#219588 Which said to just dd it. But it is for Free BSD, not Linux. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
