zram-swap VS zram-swap-config

Basically: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo apt install git sudo reboot git clone https://github.com/foundObjects/zram-swap cd zram-swap sudo ./install.sh

I am already using Zram since i decided to turn my swap partition off on my SSD. i've allocated 4GB of my 16 with the lzo-rle algorithm and so far I have had no real issues. https://github.com/foundObjects/zram-swap

How's it different from https://github.com/foundObjects/zram-swap ?

I used pinodexmr to do it, then added zram-swap(easy way to manage zram, a memory compression manager on linux, also see zram-config).

Additionally, they could try zram using something like this: https://github.com/foundObjects/zram-swap I don't think this will cause issues, and I have actually disabled my swap partition now and use 1/4th of my memory as compressed swap.

I read in a few articles that the default sram-config package has some sizing/erro handling issues. Two configuration scripts seem to be recommended: this one and this other one.

https://github.com/foundObjects/zram-swap/ Easy install and setting.

crontab, /etc/rc.local or create a simple systemctl service are all prob the easiest and most secure ways to allow on boot. /etc/rc.local I think happens after all services think `@reboot` with crontab is the same but you would have to google to be sure. or copy and hack the service from https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config as really they are also quite simple to create

I still have https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config but doesn't do much more than https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator#readme but I passed control of https://github.com/ecdye/zram-config as maintenance aint my strong point and it was just a protest of hey guys get this sorted.

zram can help as create a swap that the majority of time will be used also mounting a small zram zstd (great text compression) for var/log will practically bring writes to pretty much nothing. Armbian have a util that does that. You are using 62.2m 9very small) of 872m main memory Swap virtual memory you are using 40.8m of 100m because dphys-swap is set to only 100m by default but is just disk space. Its prob pushed 40.8m there because its idle so its pushed it out of main memory and will pull back if ever needed. I use my util https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config and another one I did is now maintained by openhab. Dunno if systemd/zram-generator is in raspberry might actually a great zram util.

zram when your confined with 512mb as sd card swap sucks. https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config zram isn't perfect as you will get apps that pass already compressed uncompressible data, but luckily is the exception not the rule and web based is usually highly compressable.

https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config just install and reboot

Remember to finish the installation and install zram-swap-config for global zram.
