Swap kicked in when RAM is filled around 95%. I’m using zRAM as the swap. When this happened, my laptop is barely usable, as the system would have to do both the swap and compression at the same time. If `vm.swappiness = 180` worked as intended, the issue wouldn't have happened, as the swap would kick in early, which is good for zRAM system like mine, see kernel docs: https://docs.kernel.org/admin- guide/sysctl/vm.html#swappiness This is my main workstation (laptop). I used to run openSUSE Tumbleweed on it (~2 years). The experience with `vm.swappiness` is totally different. --- Here's my zRAM script: ``` #!/bin/bash mem_total_kb=$(grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo | grep -E --only-matching '[[:digit:]]+') mem_total=$((mem_total_kb * 1536)) modprobe zram echo zstd > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm; echo $mem_total > /sys/block/zram0/disksize mkswap /dev/zram0 swapon -p 100 /dev/zram0 ``` Here's the content of my /etc/sysctl.conf ``` vm.swappiness=180 vm.page-cluster=0 vm.watermark_scaling_factor=125 vm.watermark_boost_factor=0 ``` I make a fresh install, not upgrading from the previous release. I also upload the screen recording of this issue on my personal Proton drive here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/5KTCS1DF58#qZTscuv5XE0M I mount ~/ramtest in the RAM, then copy the system's usr folder to ~/ramtest. Since most contents in usr are compressible, it should be perfect to show this issue. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/seq: archerallstars 4444 F.... pipewire /dev/snd/controlC0: archerallstars 4448 F.... wireplumber CRDA: N/A CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2024-04-27 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Release amd64 (20240424) MachineType: Acer Swift SF514-52T NonfreeKernelModules: zfs Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 i915drmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/BOOT/ubuntu_o799y4@/vmlinuz-6.8.0-31-generic root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_o799y4 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-31.31-generic 6.8.1 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
