| ===Verify===
| |
| The observations below are made from anaconda git logs, and should be verified against the actual version of Anaconda shipped for F21
| |
|
| |
| * Low memory installations work better using methods where squashfs.img doesn't need to be kept in memory, ie nfs,live image.
| |
|
| |
| * zRAM swap for Anaconda
| |
|
| |
| zRAM is a standard block device like tmpfs with one nice difference -- its
| |
| content is compressed. One clever usage of such device is using it as a swap
| |
| device which effectively means one can have compressed RAM. Some experiments
| |
| show that by using zRAM as a swap device in the installation process anaconda
| |
| can install to machines with lower amount of RAM (succeeded with 320 MB) and
| |
| installations on low-RAM systems (< 1 GB) run faster due to usage of zRAM swap
| |
| instead/together with the standard swap we create and use for package
| |
| installation.
| |
|
| |
| Specific limits, numbers and way of implementation may be changed in the future,
| |
| but this commit introduces the basic idea and straightforward approach.
| |
|
| |
| zram can be turned on and off with the inst.zram argument. It will be used
| |
| automatically for systems with <2GB, and not used for systems with >2GB.
