I assume I should get rid of most of the swap. I also read somewhere to increase… swappiness of zram?
minus-squareExplodeyWolf@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoShould I lower swap? How do I change the swappiness?
minus-squarewheels@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoThere’s some instructions here but basically: sudo apt install zram-config append to end of /etc/sysctl.conf: vm.swappiness = 180 # disable swap readahead (since using zram swap) vm.page-cluster = 0 Can check these have been applied with cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster or .../swappiness
minus-squareExplodeyWolf@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWould these settings be the same if I used the same amount of swap?
minus-squareMyNameIsRichard@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoHave a look at this for info on swappiness. As for your swap, if it’s not causing you problems, it can’t hurt to have it.
