I read the man tmpfs and there i see, that tmpfs refers to the total
amount of virtual memory including swap. So i've to clear up my mind:

i installed a zram as swap but i also installed a small harddrive
partition as swap (for s2disk which otherwise would not work (?) ).

fdisk -l looks like this:
-------------------------

Now, tmpfs would make use of that swap in which way (the priority of
the zram swap is higher than those of sda3)?

Thanks a lot in advance.
