Hi,
How can I enable zswap on a ubuntu 14.04 instance? I did some searching and did this:
- I modified /etc/default/grub and changed
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULTtoGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="zswap.enabled=1 - I then rebooted the system with “reboot”
I then tried to verify the presence of zswap by running “dmesg | grep zcache” but I couldn’t find anything. How do I know if I actually configured it properly and if it’s running?
Thanks!

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“zswap.enabled=1” is not where you enable it. You need to enable it here… GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“zswap.enabled=1” Then run sudo update-grub and then reboot.
