[Bug 665785] Re: Support for zram (Linux >2.6.36) and ramzswap(<2.6.35) is missing

[Sergey Davidoff]

In today's daily build Ubiquity had /dev/zram0 as a default device to
install the OS. WTF?!

Also, I've put together a zram-based swap that automatically scales
across several CPUs and automatically adapts to the amount of RAM
available. It's based on upstart instead of initramfs, and seems to work
fine for me. I haven't tested package upgrade though, so it might be
buggy. You can find the code at lp:~elementaryos/elementaryos/zramswap-
