Re: Swapping to compressed memory by default
I just installed Fedora IoT edition for the first time, version 33,
and was surprised that by default there was no swap to compressed memory. I understand
that other Fedora editions have been enabling this, and it seems like something that would
be of particular benefit to small devices with slow storage.
It was straightforward to enable this myself (rpm-ostree install
zram-generator-defaults), but I wondered if it was an oversight that this is not installed
by default?
Yes, that was my fault and an oversight by me, we actually shipped
zram from the outset on IoT and when I removed it I had thought that
the zram-generator was automatically pulled in as a dep but foolishly
didn't check, it will be fixed in the next compose but I had been
holding off doing a new f33 compose due to a bug in ostree.
Short story is it's known and should be fixed next week.
