so where zram ends and disk trashing begins?

just mount an 8PB tmpfs ram disk. It's unlimited.

There's no reason to not use zram over a traditional disk based swap. I havent used disk based swap in years and have only used an 8GB zram block in my ram as my swap space and it's worked well the whole time with no problems. It's noticably faster when it's swapping (I have a mechanical hard drive) and it actually boosted my framerate in a couple games for whatever reason. Zram is goated.

I forgot about this, I had lots of problems with swap on opensuse that this thing fixed but when I moved to arch I went with more memory so I never need it.

Some distros start using swap despite having RAM available and no tunning of the swappiness settings can fix it, they can chew on a SSD in a couple of years if not careful.

Zstd compressed zram devices are great for compiling Gentoo packages on. Usually see the files take around 1/3 the uncompressed space.

Slower than ram, it's a big zip file on memory

literally free ram. Lifesaver when I need some 4 extra gigs on top of 16 gigs. Slower? yes, but way faster than swap on an nvme

Just buy more ram. It's not 2004 anymore.

>>104000112
You're increasing the size of your RAM for slower access speeds, but the whole point of RAM is that it's fast. Sounds retarded.

>>104000112
zswap is superior, but yes it makes a big difference, I am able to run 10gb of ram on an 8gb, and have it remain usable.

It's welded to my motherboard

why does linux rape hdd when ram goes very low if swap is not on hdd at all ?

>>104000112
it both is and insnt a placibo it fully depends on your usecase.

all caches are flushed and now the kernel has to fetch whenever any process any disk resource

*process requests any disk resource
