Hi Everyone,
I've got a Fedora 38 install (upgrade from F37). The install happened with Anaconda. Anaconda created the compressed memory swap file. I resized the disk and added a proper swap partition. Now I need to modify /etc/fstab and disable the compressed memory swap file. In the screen text below, /dev/nvme0n1p4 is the new partition.
My Google-fu really sucks today. I cannot find a discussion of it.
How do I modify fstab to remove the compressed memory swap file?
Why would you want to?
The easiest way would be to remove the "zram-generator" package. I don't know off-hand how to disable a generator.
I think the zram-generator.conf file provides two methods (one is effectively the same as you've suggested ;).
$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf # This config file enables a /dev/zram0 device with the default settings: # — size — same as available RAM or 8GB, whichever is less # — compression — most likely lzo-rle # # To disable, uninstall zram-generator-defaults or create empty # /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf file. [zram0] zram-size = min(ram, 8192)
The other would be something like:
sudo sh -c '>/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf'
If the file doesn't already exist, `sudo touch ...` would be even simpler, of course.
