With all this memory work I have been doing I finally noticed that free
was reporting 24GB swap:
# free
total used free shared buff/cache
available
Mem: 15625916 7018872 6765700 109108 1841344 8162532
Swap: 25165816 0 25165816
Thing is I only have 16GB in my swap partition:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Disk model: WDC WDBNCE5000PN

/dev/sda5 182456320 976773119 794316800 378.8G 83 Linux
OK. What is happening. I remember Ed's comment about him using zram,
so I did some digging and find:
# swapon --show
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda3 partition 16G 0B -2
/dev/zram0 partition 8G 0B 100
Um, I did not know I set up zram? How did that happen. Is zram now
part of the basic Fedora install?
It has been a while my using zram. How do I disable it for now? With
16GB real memory and 16GB real swap partition, I want to see how things
are working...
thanks
