on linux 3.10 it is num_devices…

I was getting the error: "zram: Unkown parameter 'num_devices'" when starting the service. Turns out that the parameter for the the zram module is 'zram_num_devices' instead of 'num_devices'.

You can set it in service.d file eg. /etc/systemd/system/zramswap.service.d/size.conf [Service] Environment="ZRAM_SIZE=25" 25 is 25% of total RAM

What is the environment variable ZRAM_SIZE good for? At the moment I can not set it at all, no? I removed it from my script and altered the script a bit. Size of zram devices now is about half of physical RAM: https://gist.github.com/5956013

TODO: Introduce means to configure it (eg. for my system it has to be 50% of RAM or less, otherwise real swapping action fails). Probably via ENV (so config would be in /etc/systemd/system/zramswap.d/)

@mmm This AUR package doesn't compile anything, the two files it provides are human readable. The code lives in the linux kernel https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/staging/zram (zram is still in the staging branch) I think the links mentioned in the Wikipedia are nice, but obviously you can search the Wikipedia or the Arch wiki by yourself. If the kernel has zram support: $ zgrep -i zram /proc/config.gz | grep -v "#" CONFIG_ZRAM=m (here, it's not compiled in, but used as a module) you only need this tiny AUR package to make it work.

is there an upstream for this program, or who is developing it? Link to wiki is not so reassuring :)

Please update the Maintainer / Contributor part of the PKGBUILD :-)

I no longer use this package so I am orphaning it.
