Hi everybody,

on SL6.1, rpm -q --changelog kernel | grep zram

gives many indications that zram (or compcache) is being taken care of. 
I tried

modprobe zram
# create 2 GB compressed RAM disk:
echo $((2*1024*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/zram0

and it seems to work. However, I am unable to locate any documentation 
of the installed zram version; the kernel-doc RPM has nothing, and I 
also cannot find the rzscontrol (or zramconfig ?) tool. Where is the 
documentation that e.g.
- [mm] Rename ramzswap to zram in documentation (Jerome Marchand) [578641]
refers to?

thanks for any pointers,

Kay
