Pages swapped to these devices are compressed and stored in memory -itself. See project home for use cases, performance numbers and a lot more. - -Individual ramzswap devices are configured and initialized using rzscontrol -userspace utility as shown in examples below. See rzscontrol man page for more -details. - -* Usage - -Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using ramzswap. - -1) Load Modules: - modprobe ramzswap num_devices=4 - This creates 4 (uninitialized) devices: /dev/ramzswap{0,1,2,3} - (num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1) - -2) Initialize: - Use rzscontrol utility to configure and initialize individual - ramzswap devices. Example: - rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --init # uses default value of disksize_kb - - *See rzscontrol man page for more details and examples* - -3) Activate: - swapon /dev/ramzswap2 # or any other initialized ramzswap device - -4) Stats: - rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --stats - -5) Deactivate: - swapoff /dev/ramzswap2 - -6) Reset: - rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --reset - (This frees all the memory allocated for this device). - - -Please report any problems at: - - Mailing list: linux-mm-cc at laptop dot org - - Issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/issues/list - -Nitin Gupta -ngupta@vflare.org |
