A future feature might be zswap for this case. I've done a lot of testing with that too but I think it needs some synthetic or contrived cases to expose the hypothetically better LRU basis efficiency for what to evict from the cache to the swap-on-disk device. But making it easier for people to do these experiments with real workloads is a big part of the feature, while keeping the defaults conservative for starters. > I would appreciate here how to get to the state from swap-on-disk > (default workstation) to the new swap-on-zram (new default > workstation).

A work around is to swapoff /dev/zram0 and then swapon -p 3000 /dev/zram0. Now it has higher priority than swap-on-disk. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
