I can't reproduce the problems people have been having with zram_num_devices, so I'm not sure what to recommend there. This command will tell you how much RAM is currently being compressed on which device: cat /proc/swaps I think there used to be more detailed stats somewhere, but I don't remember where that was now.

I just installed it today and I'm also getting the zram_num_devices message, arch fully updted, what should I do? Also how do I get to know how much ram is getting compresed, thanks a lot in advance!

Yes, and the script accounts for both zram_num_devices and num_devices. (It was named num_devices in 3.2 as well.)

downloaded today they just rename to num_devices with 3.4.2

If you're using the version of the script from 2012-05-19 or later, it should already be working.

great. thanks

That's working as intended. zram may compress up to all available memory as needed, so all 16 GB may be compressed if you have a dire memory shortage. Any memory that is not currently compressed (i.e. outside of swap) remains available as regular uncompressed RAM with no performance penalty.

the daemon uses all 16GB of my ram as zramswap. any ideas why? do you need any info?
