I have an Marwell Kirkwood ARM-based NAS server Zyxel NSA 310. I compiled my own 3.8 kernel and enabled ZCACHE, but I still see 256 MB of RAM. I am not sure if GNU free utility should show extra amount of RAM. How do I find out it is really working? Do I need to do some extra steps to make use of it? I have added "zcache" to the command line.

```
root@nas:~# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           247        218         29          0          7        166
-/+ buffers/cache:         43        203
Swap:         1427          0       1427

root@nas:~# zgrep CACHE /proc/config.gz 
CONFIG_CLEANCACHE=y
CONFIG_ZCACHE=y

root@nas:~# dmesg | grep zcache

```

I know it is "merging" pages compressing them, but how to see the compression ratio or something like that.
