script is in hiatus and doesn't met expectation of present times, is written in awk (strange choice) besides that i maintain this package to at least maintain functionality of this awk script, which is *very* limited… Also not having any paid job atm doesn't help either in rewriting it :<

@beta990 It is quite usable. Start the service and see if it has a perceivable effect: # systemctl enable zramswap.service

@swiftgeekL what's the status of this package? Is it usable or something else? I don't get the last comment, so please explain. :P

Ok this script doesn't understand situation when zram is used also for something else… eg. compressed tmpfs … putting rewrite of this script to (im)pure bash in TODO (it doesn't need to be an early service so it doesn't matter so much)

@gyscos sorry i didn't checked script including reboot.

Zramctrl doesn't properly use ZRAM_PARM in modprobe : Line 22: system("modprobe zram ZRAM_PARM=" cpucount) ZRAM_PARM is inside the double quotes and doesn't seem to be expanded. Instead, system("modprobe zram " ZRAM_PARM "=" cpucount) worked for me.

>Comment by swiftgeek > 2013-08-31 17:55 > on linux 3.10 it is num_devices… If the script once needs 'num_devices' and another time needs 'zram_num_devices', then the script could be changed to something such as: ################ modprobe zram $(modinfo zram | grep -E -o '(num_devices|zram_num_devices)')=$num_cpus ################ as it has been done here (one meant for Debian): http://meets.free.fr/Downloads/Debian/zramconfig/zram/etc/init.d/zram Regards, Mélodie

I'm running 3.0.27 on an ARM machine. I guess I need an update! Thanks anyway.
