If you see an error entry like
<pre>
Jul 08 17:14:50 COMPUTER zram-generator[3056]: Error: Failed to configure write-back device into /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev
Jul 08 17:14:50 COMPUTER zram-generator[3056]: Caused by:
Jul 08 17:14:50 COMPUTER zram-generator[3056]:    Device or resource busy (os error 16)
</pre>
This is probably because the writeback device has already been used as swap. To avoid this you need to do as the [[#Disable swap]] section says and make sure your writeback device is not being mounted as swap (this can happen due to <code>systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8)</code>).
