I wanted to ask all who might be interested too, and know the
answers to this, first, in short,
/dev/zram0 my system says is a swap file. It's really no big deal, but I
would rather not have one. I see the old 'mkswap' command is gone, I
look at the filesystem and see no visible swap. Is there a way to turn
this off? I really don't think my memory needs to swap out pages to the
filesystem; but then, maybe it could use it. Turning it off probably
wouldn't hurt.
And also what comes goes, my system went down and no worries. But I
did try to rescue the system with e2fsck. When done after quite some
time. All the showed up was 'lost+found' and in that directory was a lot
of directories that were numbered. Some had the hash in front. I guess I
really did a number on it. Nothing was lost worth keeping. It needed
cleaned anyway.
If you decide you do need swap checkout zswap. It compresses swapped
out pages and stores them in local RAM. It's a kernel option and is
activated by adding "zswap.enabled=1" to the linux boot lines in your
grub.cfg.
Because it's not a command, per se, there's no man page. A web search
on zswap will return plenty of info.
