Honestlky I don't get the cronjob. Why is it necessary? On reboot the init system runs the stop command on zram-config in /etc/init.d which dies exactly the same as the cronjob here.

Hi John, The zRAM is not removed, only de-activated. Only if zRAM is used already '@reboot', when cron runs the command, and there is no place to put the content, then swapoff would fail (I think). 1. Did you check with swapon -s This command should return no zram block device. 2. Check the memory with free -m and install and run htop to check if something related to zram is running or using memory.
