Hi, After a boot this evening when back home: $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 100 /dev/sda6 partition 4607996 0 -1 $ **Only one device is created, and it has a 100 priority!

Yes more information here: $ uname -a Linux bento64 3.19.0-21-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Sun Jun 14 18:31:11 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ and also here about zram module: $ cd /lib/modules $ find . -name "zram*" ./3.19.0-18-generic/kernel/drivers/block/zram ./3.19.0-18-generic/kernel/drivers/block/zram/zram.ko ./3.19.0-20-generic/kernel/drivers/block/zram ./3.19.0-20-generic/kernel/drivers/block/zram/zram.ko ./3.19.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/block/zram ./3.19.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/block/zram/zram.ko $ I wasn't aware it wasn't in the staging directory anymore. And about "is it loaded and how?": $ grep ZRAM /boot/config-3.19.0-21-generic CONFIG_ZRAM=m CONFIG_ZRAM_LZ4_COMPRESS=y # CONFIG_ZRAM_DEBUG is not set $ What about lsmod? $ lsmod | grep zram zram 24576 1 lz4_compress 16384 1 zram $ What do you think? How is zram loaded? Here is a scheme brought by "systemd-analyze plot" (can that help?) http://citrotux.org/Downloads/plot.svg
