This is still an issue. I see that COMPCACHE is enabled in my lucid kernel: $ grep COMPCACHE config-2.6.32-16-generic CONFIG_BLK_DEV_COMPCACHE=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_COMPCACHE_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_COMPCACHE_STATS is not set
The module name now is ramzswap. Probing it creates /dev/ramzswap0, which you can call swapon on. Using it is simple: # modprobe ramzswap # swapon /dev/ramzswap0 -p 100 Doing that simple stuff will cause an area of compressed ramdisk to be your highest priority swap disk. A nice init script with a configurable variable to specify the size to use is all that is needed. A little configuration dialog to put in the Administration would be nice. Would also be nice if the Ubuntu installer would detect small-ram conditions and offer to configure it automatically at install time. -- use compcache by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
