zram instead of tmpfs for /dev #90

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Would it be possible to use zram to create the devfs on /dev instead of using 
tmpfs which uses more memory than zram.

Thanks!

This would be an awesome feature, and really useful for a possible project we 
have coming up. Do you guys know if you have any plans to support something 
like this in the future.

What's the special requirement for hosting devfs which zram lacks? I never 
tried this myself.

Actually, I don't know. But zram module didn't create a device with a size on 
by default when compiled into the kernel, which prevented it to be used before 
devfs was mounted... I am not using a ramdisk with modules, perhaps that's a 
requirement.

Seems like nothing to do here; closing the issue.
