Using zram with the Raspberry Pi #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
via PiMyLifeUp
zram is a Linux kernel module that is designed to create a compressed block within your RAM that can be used as swap memory or as a temporary disk.
Data inserted into this portion of the memory will automatically be compressed. This compression allows you to fit more data into your memory.
Swap memory makes up a part of Linux’s virtual memory system and is used as a spill over to prevent out of memory errors.
