Thanks, Leszek, this was the cleanest work-around.
Disabling the Upstart job means that the zram
configurations never run to begin with. <br>
<br>
And it doesn't leave anything dubious dangling (like the
'sudo parted -l' output of 'Error: /dev/zram1:
unrecognised disk label').

<div>Hi Leszek,<br>
<br>
John has zRAM in Raring. It was pulled in by a
package he installed, and<br>
I try to help him switch it off.<br>
<br>
Probably it is better to do it in /etc/init.d, but
I am not familiar<br>
with that method, so I didn't suggest that method.
Please describe it,<br>
I'm reading and learning :-)<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Nio<br>
