zramctl

Setup and control zram devices.

Use `mkfs` or `mkswap` to format zram devices to partitions.

More information.

Check if zram is enabled:

lsmod | grep -i zram

Enable zram with a dynamic number of devices (use `zramctl` to configure devices further):

sudo modprobe zram

Enable zram with exactly 2 devices:

sudo modprobe zram num_devices={2}

Find and initialise the next free zram device to a 2 GB virtual drive using LZ4 compression:

sudo zramctl --find --size {2GB} --algorithm {lz4}

List currently initialised devices:
