OK, that about sums up my confusion. :) > The change seems to be approved. Can I open a pull request for the changes in > the Anaconda configuration files? Yes please, that will certainly save me more embarrassment. One item I haven't worked through yet is how 'inst.zram' should inhibit the zram-generator. The generator runs during early boot. My current thinking is 'inst.zram' can just 'systemctl stop swap-create@zram0.service' since it will exist already. In that case it could optionally be renamed to 'inst.nozram'. What do you think? I think the timing of the changes isn't very critical. If the release images have zram-generator first, it will run sooner and the Anaconda implementation will fail (error messages in logs, but otherwise non-fatal). Whereas if the Anaconda implementations go away first, the lack of swap on zram in low memory situations might cause problems. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
