[Bug 1821499] Re: [Feature request] /etc/init/zram-config.conf has no any options. Please add a few.

[Brian Foster]

I presume this is referring to the hardcoded calculations
for NRDEVICES and the critical calculation using it:

   mem=$(((totalmem / 2 / ${NRDEVICES}) * 1024))

(There are a few others that perhaps should be more easily
adjusted.)  Yes, this also has annoyed me, albeit, to-date,
the hardcoded values seem to be Ok for me on my system.

I'd also like to be able to specify more zram devices;
i.e., have some which are not used for swap.  Currently
(without testing) all those created are used for swap,
and it's not possible to create additional devices (but
I suppose one could then swapoff(1) one or more to get
the desired "extra" device(s)?).

Status in zram-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Such people as me would like to set some permanent paramenters for
  zram without editing /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping script file. I think
  it's wrong to edit something in /usr/bin.
