Is zram really necessary?
by ddenial from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59SS8)
Hello All
I just installed Fedora Workstation with XFS filesystem. During install, I had also set up a swap space of 8GiB. I've 8GiB physical ram. Now I have both types of swaps.
Code:$ swapon -v
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda9 partition 8G 0B -2
/dev/zram0 partition 3.9G 0B 100I use my Linux basically for office work, KVM virtual labs, and watching movies/videos.
Sometimes I feel my commands in the terminal are reacting a little slow. I suspect it's due to zram. I don't know. Which type of swap do I keep? Is ZRAM worth it?
Thanks
