    Hey andy5995!

    Maurice... you found a new toy that interests you then?

    That can and does happen. In this case I am finding tmpfs much more useful to me given the ram I have at my disposal. Compression would only slow things down. However, now that zramctl is on my radar, it is on the todo list. :-)

    Life is good,
    Maurice
