How enable zram module on kernel (debian lik distro)?
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: zram
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Increased Performance In Linux With zRam (Virtual Swap Compressed in RAM)
# Description: Adapted from systemd scripts at https://github.com/mystilleef/FedoraZram
### END INIT INFO
# source: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/15344/zram-a-good-idea/%EF%BB%BF
# download: wget -c https://raw.github.com/gist/1571378 -O /etc/init.d/zram && chmod +x $_
# warning: try this before --> modprobe -nv zram
######################################################################################
# para sistemas debian puros, para ubuntu onde o init é diferente tente outros meios
# Make the script executable & add it to default run levels:
# sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/zram
# sudo update-rc.d zram defaults
# After booting verify the module is loaded with:
# lsmod | grep zram
