Anyone of you knows a way how to use zram for /tmp ?

(I inherited a sony_vaio with 16 gb of ram - which i never ever
will/could use, so i thought to use the excessive ram configuring zram).


I have a laptop with 16GB of ram. I configured it like this with the primary goal of not using swap at all. And my /tmp is a tmpfs with a 4G limit. This allows me to use an SSD as hard disk drive. I didn't want to swap to an SSD.

I have never been short of ram in 3 years. I have compiled kernels, GCC, and many other things on this laptop, runing make with multiple threads; I sometimes got stuck by lack of cpu, never by lack of ram.

I understand that you want to go further and increase the size of your /tmp by compressing it. It seems pretty complicated and probably not worth the burden.
