Re: Fedora 33 System-Wide Change proposal: swap on zram

I installed the zram package and noticed the systemd-swap package, so installed that also. I adjusted the zram setting to 4G and reduced zswap a bit. I have no idea what that is doing, it doesn't seem to affect anything I can measure. The overall improvement in responsiveness is very nice.

In this example, the system evicts 777M, at a cost of 250M, for a
total gain of ~527M.

I don't understand the numbers I'm getting for these. I disabled my swap partition to force as much to go to zram as possible and then turned it back on.

# swapon
NAME      TYPE      SIZE USED  PRIO
/dev/sda3 partition  16G 1.9G    -2
/zram0    partition   4G   4G 32767

This looks like I'm using all 4G of allocated space in the zram swap, but:

# zramctl
NAME       ALGORITHM DISKSIZE  DATA  COMPR  TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT
/dev/zram0 lz4             4G  1.8G 658.5M 679.6M       4

This suggests that it's only using 1.8G.  Can you explain what this means?
