SenorSmartyPants Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 I'm finally realizing that I have no swap and zram is not enabled. I just checked /etc/default/armbian-zram-config and ENABLED=false I'm running Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.49-rockchip64 on a RockPi4A. Is zram turned off by default? Did I screw up/miss a step when setting up my system (quite a while back)? My system boots from an SD card. I have no SSD in the system just SATA and USB HDD. I've been having system hangs when memory runs out (which has not been frequent but is very annoying) I run most things in Docker, so if I needed to rebuild from scratch it's not the worst thing in the world. Especially if there is a way to enable hardware video accelleration in a headless setup.

Expand Probably you missed this and this https://www.armbian.com/bugs Logs logs logs. Then someone can have some clue what is the issue.

You must have started with some preview build where things were not finished or break somehow ...

But should htop and free -m report no swap? Just trying to figure out if that's how it should look, or if that's definitely messed up.
