zram is a kernel option which can be disabled by adding zram.enabled=0 to boot.txt
Do you guys want to try that?
The Debian tools are not really necessary. The kernel docs explain how to configure it manually.

No and if you want to you're on your own. Totally beyond the scope of this forum.
And not a good idea for too many reasons.

Actually it's my issue for not checking the boot logs, the scripts setup the zram.service. Whether Raspberry OS uses zram is not related to our images, as we use Debian.....as of course you know.
The zram.service is part of the image builder, I've modified the process so the service shouldn't be enabled and later on install systemd-zram-generator and create a config that will use 1GB on a 4GB system, this can be modified if required.
cnc@raspberrypi:~$ dpkg --list | grep "zram"
ii  systemd-zram-generator               1.1.2-2+b2                              arm64        Systemd unit generator for zram devices
ii  zram-tools                           0.3.3.1-1.1                             all          utilities for working with zram

As you can see zram tools are installed, this is whether or not systemd-zram-tools are installed.
The issue is because Bookworm uses systemd the package systemd-zram-generator is required, this is the missing piece of the puzzle. During the build the a different script is used to zram0 which fails.

As you can see from below zram0 is used for swap.
cnc@raspberrypi:~$ sudo swapon 
NAME       TYPE       SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 1010M   0B  100

Without the mods I've describe above there is no swap. Whether it's need or not, but on a typical debian x86_64 install usually a 1GB swap partition is created.

As you can see it really doesn't affect the total free memory when it's not in use.
free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.9Gi       474Mi       2.5Gi        17Mi       1.1Gi       3.5Gi
Swap:          1.0Gi          0B       1.0Gi
And BTW it not caching memory nor mamory glands, but is creating a swap partition that is compressed in memory.

The simplest option is just to mark zram.service as masked and have no swap.

So at the moment I'm building an image with the mods.....and make sure I've done it right.

Sorry, my research says zram is not installed by default on Raspberry OS. I don't see this is a Linuxcnc issue.
We've always said to use a 4 GB system and with that much ram, mamory caching is not required.

zram issue Sat Feb 22, 2025

Big thanks to forum user spina for finding this.
Tho not a game stopper, doesn't seem to affect the operation. Just entries into /var/log/boot.log
Is related to swap.
So far no reports of adverse behavior has been reported.
Feb 20 14:49:54 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Failed to start zramswap.service - Linux zramswap setup.
░░ Subject: A start job for unit zramswap.service has failed
░░ Defined-By: systemd
░░ Support: www.debian.org/support
░░
░░ A start job for unit zramswap.service has finished with a failure.
░░
░░ The job identifier is 119 and the job result is failed.
[/boot]

Issue is related to systemd-zram-generator not being installed.

So what is need is to install the missing package, disable the service that comes with the image, installation of the package installs a new service, finally the log files are rotated. Please only execute the instructions listed below.
[code]
sudo apt update
sudo apt install systemd-zram-generator
sudo systemctl mask zramswap.service
sudo logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.conf


A reboot can be done now or you can edit the file mentioned below to prior to rebooting.

By default up to 4GB of ram or half the ram is used, depending on how much ram one has.

On my 4GB system I have the following entry, which allocates 1GB to zram swap......the file to edit is after the # symbol.
# /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf
[zram0]
zram-size = ram / 4

Apologies for missing this prior to releasing the images.

I wasn't thinking of putting it the connector shell but having a surface mount connector if they exist that plugs straight in like a raspberry pi hat.
The amphenol connector used by Hypertherm and Thermal Dynamics, I think comes with surface mount options....

Glad you like my idea, Pretty cool one I thought!
