What is z3fold and do I need it? (error: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 12: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/local.conf: z3fold: not found)

Hi,


$ uname -a
Linux e130 4.19.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.194-3 (2021-07-18) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

$ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache

$ cat debian_version
10.2


One of my memory slots has died and I can only use one mem stick, that 
is 2 GB in total.

I was following this guide:
https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/speed-mint.html#ID1.2

So I added:

# cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/local.conf
# List of modules that you want to include in your initramfs.
# They will be loaded at boot time in the order below.
#
# Syntax: module_name [args ...]
#
# You must run update-initramfs(8) to effect this change.
#
# Examples:
#
# raid1
# sd_mod
z3fold
lz4

Then:

# update-initramfs -u

And I get error:

/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 12: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/local.conf: 
z3fold: not found


Where do I find z3fold and do I need it?

Thanks
