Hi,
I've noticed when trying remediate performance issues in F34 under a vm,
that fedora does not have a swap specification in fstab anymore, but is using,
in my case, and 8GB swap partition in /dev/zram0. Does this mean that if I
create a swap partition of a bigger size and specify it in fstab it will be
ignored?
Ignored? No. But not primary. e.g.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ swapon
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda2 partition 16.9G 0B -2
/dev/zram0 partition 4.7G 0B 100
So, it may or may not be used.
Alternatively, given the fedora is using it's own rules for determining the
swap size based on the amount of memory available, is there any way to increase
the size of /dev/zram0 so that there is more swap space available to the system?
I think
man zram-generator
will help in that.
Thanks Ed, I'll check that man data out. In my case with an auto storage
configuration at F34 install time there isn't any swap entry in fstab or swap
partition. I think I need to expand this in virtualbox as I think that
virtualbox's lack of video memory is causing performance issues in F34.
My system has been upgraded from versions without ZRAM. That is the reason my
system has a defined swap
partition on disk.
I don't see the connection between Video Memory and swap.
VirtualBox has a per-VM setting for its display and video memory. At least that
is the case for VirtualBox running
as a host on linux. I seem to recall you're using VirtualBox on HW running
Windows?
