7 This is a RAM based block device which acts as swap disk.
8 Pages swapped to this device are compressed and stored in
9 memory itself. See project home for use cases, performance
13 - Run 'make': this will compile all modules against your kernel.
15 - Following kernel modules are created:
20 - Following scipts are included
21 - use_ramzswap.sh [<disksize(KB)|<memlimit(KB)>] [<backing_swap>]
22 This loads all required modules and sets up swap device.
23 NOTE: script contains detailed documentation on parameters.
26 Unloads all modules and turns off ramzswap swap device.
29 - If you get lots of compile errors, make sure you have package for
30 kernel source installed. For e.g., on Fedora its 'kernel-devel' package.
32 - If (un)use_ramzswap scripts fail to work, refer to wiki:

36 - Statistics are exported via /proc/ramzswap
