$ urpmq -i zramstart

Rather looks as if we already have what you suggest. Do you agree?

I managed to build it from sources Vbox, working good...

This one is active developement

Zramstart we have in repos is more than 5 years old...

Can some of dev team take a look this????

Comment 7 Christian Lohmaier 2024-04-03 17:39:05 CEST

zramstart by itself is not too bad if all you want to create a ram-device - although you should modify it to not create a device for each CPU/thread - that is done internally already since quite a while.
(see also https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1100326-start-0.html )

I only hardcoded num_cpus=1 in the zramstart script and that solves that specific issue.

So I agree that there's a problem with zramstart, but not because it is old...

Fixed with rust-zram-generator-1.1.2-1.mga10.

zramstart is still available. If there are bugs in it, please file a bug.
