Raspberry Pi RAM Swap drive

[DJ-Daz]

If you have little use for the 2GB of RAM in a Raspberry Pi, then you could always use 1GB of it for a SWAP drive, this should improve performance for anyone running their Pi on a SD card.

If you want to use a SSD or USB Drive then checkout my easy as Pi tutorials here: https://the-bionic-cyclist.co.uk/catego ... tutorials/

As usual this is a quick and easy setup:
install ZRAM

Code: Select all

sudo wget -O /usr/bin/zram.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ric96/zram_rpi3/master/zram.sh

Make it executable.

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/zram.sh

Edit this file to run on startup

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

add line before

Code: Select all

 exit 0 /usr/bin/zram.sh &
