Subject: Re: Zram for FreeBSD
Cool, I am starting to get a good grasp on what is going on (I’ll probably need to use FreeBSD’s archive.h as opposed to Linux’s crypto.h). I am trying to get a hold on what exactly I need to port to FreeBSD. I see that (as Nitin suggested) zsmalloc is the main brains of handling the objects and that it creates a fixed amount of sharded “pages” which a compressed (or uncompressed) actual page can span. I see also that that depends on zpool.
I will probably find all “dependencies”; however, if one of you could describe the components used/implemented for this, that’d be awesome. Also, any linux specific setup/layout details come to mind?
Seriously, any details would be appreciated. It will save me time.
Thanks,
Cory

zram supports more than that.

hm... not all of them (if any at all). lzo, *may be*, was motivated
by "compression/decompression perfromance VS compression ratio", which
is imporatant for zram.

no idea.
