Description: utilities for working with zram
zram is a Linux kernel module that allows you to set up compressed
filesystems in RAM.
.
zram-tools uses this module to set up compressed swap space.
This is useful on systems with low memory or servers
running a large amount of services with data that's easily swappable
but that you may wish to swap back fast without sacrificing disk
bandwidth.
.
By default it allocates 100MB of RAM, you can configure this in
/etc/default/zramswap.
