EasyOS: CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, ZRAM, and Ventoy

iotop partly broken in Easy Dunfell and Bookworm
Running iotop (from "System" menu), there is a message:
CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT not enabled in kernel, cannot determine SWAPIN and IO
This problem arrived with the 5.15 kernel. It is configured with CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, but is not activated. It has to be activated with a kernel commandline parameter. Apparently, this change was made because this feature imposes a very slight performance overhead on I/O.

Having very recently become enamoured of lz4, I saw that zram only has lzo and lzo-rle compression enabled. So, have also enabled lz4. -

Using EasyOS with Ventoy
If you want to put EasyOS into Ventoy, it used to work -- only just -- now doesn't.
The Ventoy website has a tick alongside EasyOS, meaning it works. However, there is this problem...
When Easy is on its own on a USB-stick, at first bootup, the ext4 working-partition is expanded to fill the drive, then it is populated. That population includes 'vmlinuz', 'initrd' and 'easy.sfs' copied from the boot-partition to the working-partition.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
