Hi, I have found a way to make it work right.
While zram was loaded, with one block device created only instead of two as I have a dual-core, and with a priority 100 instead of 5 as the zram- config brings I did this: $ sudo swapoff /dev/zram0 $ sudo rmmod zram then edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and added this: blacklist zram since the other day, I had no more zram loaded nor zram virtual device loaded. Just now I thought of a test while zram is not loaded at boot time: $ sudo apt-get install zram-config ....... ....... Réception de : 1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-proposed/universe zram-config all 0.3.1 [4 266 B] ........ ....... $ $ sudo systemctl enable zram-config $ sudo systemctl start zram-config $ While I'm here: Could the zram-config script come with some outputs there? Confirmation "we have created a symlink blabla... " and after, "we have started zram-config successfully" ? That would be nice. :) Result: $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda6 partition 4607996 0 -1 /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 /dev/zram1 partition 947216 0 5 $ Now it works as it's supposed to! Some more tests to be sure, with the systemctl commands "status", "restart", "start", and "stop": *************** [melodie@bento64:~]$ sudo systemctl status -l zram-config.service ● zram-config.service - Initializes zram swaping Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zram-config.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since dim. 2015-06-21 18:33:11 CEST; 9min ago Process: 4906 ExecStart=/usr/bin/init-zram-swapping (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 4906 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) juin 21 18:33:11 bento64 systemd[1]: Starting Initializes zram swaping... juin 21 18:33:11 bento64 init-zram-swapping[4906]: Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 947216 KiB juin 21 18:33:11 bento64 init-zram-swapping[4906]: pas d'étiquette, UUID=6c74759b-83cd-47a1-b911-f5242c125979 juin 21 18:33:11 bento64 init-zram-swapping[4906]: Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 947216 KiB juin 21 18:33:11 bento64 init-zram-swapping[4906]: pas d'étiquette, UUID=3e6fce71-7773-40e4-9dcb-3dfe509ec23d juin 21 18:33:11 bento64 systemd[1]: Started Initializes zram swaping.

[melodie@bento64:~]$ *************** They all show it works correctly. Again, after "restart" "stop" and "start" some confirmation messages for success would be nice. One more: I'd like to have some direct mean to setup the size of the block devices to my liking. A /etc/default/zram configuration file for this purpose, for example, would be nice.
