ZRAM
Zram uses a part of physical RAM to emulate a block device and use it for swapping. In essence, in compress unused RAM content within itself, to leave more memory for the currently active one. It can also be used to host the /tmp
filesystem but this is not practical.
As of pmOS 23.06, the default kernel is already built with ZRAM support, and ZRAM is enabled by default. Use swapon --show
to verify. You may want to play with the default settings with zramctl
utility, or alter them in /etc/conf.d/zram-init
if you can offer a more suitable setup for your particular device, applications suite, and usage habits.
