Any way to increase swap priority?

[Stanley Kitchen]

Hi all,

Watching my memory remaining plummet to zero in crosh while the linux virtual machine is compiling. I also see that the amount of zram swap space remaining is significant throughout. Upping the size of the zram does not fix my problem. The memory usage from the linux virtual machine's perspective is barely touching the sides of what it is alotted.

I can see that the Priority is set to -2 when I use `swap status`, which has me thinking that if there is a way to change it, that could fix the problem I am having.

Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stan.

Maybe increase the swapiness setting. 🤔

Strange that it's set at 195 on my Chromebook / banshee.
