Thanks Ed, I'll check that man data out. In my case with an auto storage
configuration at F34 install time there isn't any swap entry in fstab or swap
partition. I think I need to expand this in virtualbox as I think that virtualbox's
lack of video memory is causing performance issues in F34.
My system has been upgraded from versions without ZRAM. That is the reason my system has
a defined swap
partition on disk.
I don't see the connection between Video Memory and swap.
VirtualBox has a per-VM setting for its display and video memory. At least that is the
case for VirtualBox running
as a host on linux. I seem to recall you're using VirtualBox on HW running Windows?
