zramctl

Setup and control zram devices. Use mke2fs or mkswap to format zram devices to partitions.

Check if zram is enabled:

lsmod | grep -i zram

Enable zram with 2 devices. Use zramctl to configure the devices further:

sudo modprobe zram num_devices={{2}}

Find and initialise the next free zram device to a 2GB virtual drive using lz4 compression:

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

List currently initialised devices:
