[DEPRECATED] zRAM in Armbian Stretch (mainline 4.14.yy)
(disclaimer) No itention to make a Frankendebian (https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian) but ubuntu package "zram-config" works perfectly.
I tested it for two weeks in a: Orange PI Zero 512MB Armbian Stretch 5.40 4.14.18, Orange PI PC2 Armbian Stretch 5.40 4.14.18, AMD Sempron microserver Debian Stretch 9.4 4.9.0-6-amd64.
A short tutorial:
1. Download zram-config package (it's a universal package, it does not matter the architecture in use)
wget http://de.arch
ok no worries, will try the nighly way as well, it would seem that stock debian stretch currently is somewhat behind in the mainline kernel updates as well
things that replace the old fex seemed more advanced forwards in the more recent mainline kernels e.g. 4.18 and further
edit: update
ok switched to nightly
