systemctl start /dev/zram0” -> “Job for dev-zram0.device timed out.”

Linux 6.11.11-1-MANJARO

I can install “sudo pamac install zram-generator” but question is how to configure it. When I have tried to “sudo cp /usr/share/doc/zram-generator/zram-generator.conf.example /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf && systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl start /dev/zram0” it failed “Job for dev-zram0.device timed out.” with no more detail in journalctl output. zramctl and swapon output is empty, no reboot since zram-generator installation.

Maybe the paragraph at https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator?tab=readme-ov-file#tldr should be improved, since that steps not worked for me or the failure message shown above can be more detailed to describe the issue cause?

It make no sense to just copy the example without making any changes to this file.

I use this:

# /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf
[zram0]
zram-size = ram / 2
