echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
echo 1G > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
Note:
There is little point creating a zram of greater than twice the size of memory
since we expect a 2:1 compression ratio. Note that zram uses about 0.1% of the
size of the disk when not in use so a huge zram is wasteful.

mkswap /dev/zram0
