Description
Test installation zram-generator
and zram-generator-defaults
(default enabled)
How to test
- Recommend removing the following packages. The swap-on-zram implementations in those packages have minor conflicts with
zram-generator
, but mostly they'll just contribute to user confusion.sudo dnf remove anaconda zram
- Install
zram-generator
and its defaults package:sudo dnf install zram-generator zram-generator-defaults
- Reboot your machine
- Verify that swap-on-zram is active.
$ zramctl NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT /dev/zram0 lzo-rle 1.4G 4K 74B 12K 2 [SWAP]
Notice that
/dev/zram0
device is present and it's mounted as[SWAP]
. - Verify that
swapon
lists the zram device:$ swapon NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/vda1 partition 500M 0B -2 /dev/zram0 partition 1.4G 0B -3
Notice that
/dev/zram0
is present. If you have another swap device present, like in the example above, that is not a problem.
Expected Results
- The
zram-generator
andzram-generator-defaults
are installed without issues, and the feature is automatically activated after a reboot with the proper size. It should have a size equal to 50% of installed memory, or 4GiB, whichever is smaller.
