Hi,
    I've noticed when trying remediate performance issues in F34 under a vm, that fedora does not have a swap specification in fstab anymore, but is using, in my case, and 8GB swap partition in /dev/zram0. Does this mean that if I create a swap partition of a bigger size and specify it in fstab it will be ignored?

Ignored?  No.  But not primary.  e.g.

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ swapon
NAME       TYPE       SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda2  partition 16.9G   0B   -2
/dev/zram0 partition  4.7G   0B  100

So, it may or may not be used.


Alternatively, given the fedora is using it's own rules for determining the swap size based on the amount of memory available, is there any way to increase the size of /dev/zram0 so that there is more swap space available to the system?


I think

man zram-generator

will help in that.
Thanks Ed, I'll check that man data out. In my case with an auto storage configuration at F34 install time there isn't any swap entry in fstab or swap partition. I think I need to expand this in virtualbox as I think that virtualbox's lack of video memory is causing performance issues in F34.

regards,
Steve
