It seems I can't disable Zram in any way ahah This is my /etc/default/armbian-zram-config ENABLED=false SWAP=false RAMLOG_ALGORITHM=zstd ZRAM_MAX_DEVICES=8 ZRAM_PERCENTAGE=25 TMP_ALGORITHM=zstd TMP_SIZE=500M SWAP_ALGORITHM=lzo MEM_LIMIT_PERCENTAGE=25 This is my /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both extraargs=cma=256M extraargs=zswap.enabled=0 extraargs=systemd.zram=0 overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588 fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588-rock-5b.dtb rootdev=UUID=c7e46bb0-ad20-43d9-bd05-0ca6267e014c rootfstype=ext4 extraargs=video=2560x1440@60 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u Tried echo 0 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove and also nothing. I always get the same 3.8GB Zswap partition, which strangely is not even the size specified in armbian-zram-config (I have an 8GB board) I don't know what to try anymore

@bedna Thanks for the pointers, I'll try tonight or tomorrow. And yes, my plan was to set up a swap file on the SSD. @SteeMan I don't know if I'm doing something else wrong, but on my /etc/default/armbian-zram-config I have ENABLED=false and SWAP=false, but I keep seeing the swap mounted on lsblk and listed on htop

@bedna I tried disabling zram, both with armbian-config (so disabling it in /etc/default/armbian-zram-config) and also adding extraargs=zswap.enabled=0 on /boot/armbianEnv.txt, but the swap still show up htop and mounted in the lsblk output. What am I missing?

Thanks for the reply @eselarm. I was wondering if the install script was doing more than just flashing the SPI and cloning the partition, but if that's all it does I'm good. Regarding Zram and ramlog, I'm not concerned about how much the Nvme SSD gets written, I mainly use the Rock 5B as a low power NAS for temporary files, it downloads a ton of stuff that get shared on the other devices on my LAN, and after a while the files get deleted, so the work load is already more intense than what a bit of swapping and logging is going to do. But I sometimes use it to host simple game servers for my friends, so from time to time I need all the possible RAM, would disabling ZRAM and ramlog be beneficial, considering the SSD is fast enough to act as an efficient swap?

Hi, I just switched from an ancient ubuntu-rockchip install to armbian ubuntu 26.04 with the mainline kernel. I did a bit of an unorthodox installation, I wanted to install on an nvme drive, and instead of using a microSD and then copying the system with armbian-install, since I didn't have a working microsd available I did a "manual" installation, I flashed rkspi_loader.img into the SPI taken from the armbian image and then flashed the armbian img directly to the nvme drive with an usb adapter from my PC. All is good and working fine, but I'm wondering if I'm missing any settings that gets applied during the armbian-install process (are there any?) that are specific for nvme. And regarding Zram, ram2log and other optimizations that armbian uses for SDs, how should I configure them? My setup is a Radxa Rock 5B with 8GB of RAM with a Samsung 970 evo plus, should I disable zram and create a swapfile? Any other setting to look out for? I think my hdparm -t speed is a bit low, around 1300 MB/s. Thanks in advance
