The EPEL list really isn't for these sorts of OS level discussions.. most of the people on it are usually php/perl/python level tools.

Turns out that (and this is a guess), that the kernel in CentOS doesn't support lz4 compression. In fact none of the compression options worked except "deflate". Not sure what the compression ratio is for it but I now have zram using it. > > Second problem is that the configuration options in /etc/zram.conf seemed to be ignored. Even though I specified a factor of 2 for the amount of ram to use, it kept using the default in the systemd script of 3. So I just changed the script and hardcoded it to 2048MB. Since I have no plans in changing the amount of memory in that computer it really doesn't matter. > > Thanks, > Richard > _______________________________________________ > 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 -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ 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
