Description Norman Back 2024-02-25 21:04:20 UTC

Configure sys-block/zram-init so that there is one service per mount point or swap configuration, in a similar manner that net-misc/tigervnc does per display.
This would enable:
1. starting and stopping each config separately.
2. Configuring separate writeback daemons for each config.

I have attempted doing this myself and it appeared to work in terms of starting stopping the services including writeback daemons.
However, there were issues:
My re-coding of the zram-init init script did not conform to openrc requirements.
My attempts at writeback daemons were unsatisfactory in terms of:
1. Choosing when writeback was required.
2. Suspicions of memory leak when left running continuously for 2 weeks or more.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This is an enhancement request.

I think this might be something to send upstream to https://github.com/vaeth/zram-init/?

Therefore, should this bug be marked as resolved?
