1 zram: Compressed RAM based block devices
2 ----------------------------------------
5 The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram<id>
6 (<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored
7 in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
8 good amounts of memory savings. Some of the usecases include /tmp storage,
9 use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more :)
11 Statistics for individual zram devices are exported through sysfs nodes at
22 zram_lib.sh: create library with initialization/cleanup functions
23 zram.sh: For sanity check of CONFIG_ZRAM and to run zram01 and zram02
25 Two functional tests: zram01 and zram02:
26 zram01.sh: creates general purpose ram disks with ext4 filesystems
27 zram02.sh: creates block device for swap
29 Commands required for testing:
