8 | Creates virtual block devices called /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...). | |
9 | Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory | |
10 | itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides | |
11 | good amounts of memory savings. | |
12 | ||
13 | It has several use cases, for example: /tmp storage, use as swap | |
14 | disks and maybe many more. | |

16 | See zram.txt for more information. | |

24 | Enable statistics collection for compressed RAM devices. Statistics | |
25 | are exported through ioctl interface, so you have to use zramconfig | |
26 | program to get them. This adds only a minimal overhead. | |
27 | ||
28 | If unsure, say Y. | |
