Hey Testers,
Monday, 2020-07-06 will be SwapOnZRAM Test Day[0]!
This Test Day will focus on SwapOnZRAM[1]. Swap partition is useful,
except when it's slow. Zram is a RAM drive that uses compression.
Create a swap-on-zram during start-up. And no longer use swap
partitions by default.
The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram<id>
(<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored
in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
good amounts of memory savings.
It's also pretty easy to join in and contribute, you can submit your
test day results here[2]
As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.
