If I have zram installed on Ubuntu and I want to enlarge it. By default, I only have a 935 megabytes and I need more zram! Does anyone know how I could get more zram? I would like to have at least 3 gigabytes of zram.

  • Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but see the question "How to change zram size?" and my answer at https://askubuntu.com/a/1105734/909021 – dave58 Dec 31 '18 at 01:38

In reading this page: Compressed RAM with zRAM, it appears that you set the size of the volume by editing the /etc/init/zramswap.conf file and changing the line that points to your zRAM block device to match the size you want.

e.g. in terminal (CTRL+ALT+T):

$ echo 3221225472 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

I've never used it myself, so I cannot guarantee that I'm even close to correct!

  • I don't have ubuntu currently installed, but I plan on reinstalling it, so I will test this when I do install it. – SnorriChinchilla Nov 18 '15 at 02:36
  • A belated welcome to AU ! Thank you for yr answer. Make sure however that, when you provide an answer, it is tested and proven to such an extent, that OP may place a degree of trust in it/you. Your last line is a very strong disclaimer that runs against that principle. – Cbhihe Apr 03 '16 at 20:31
