Re: Virtual Memory

Thanks for the reply.

From "man swapinfo"

"Paging space residing on a mass storage device,either taking up the
entire device or, if the device contains a file system, taking up the
space between the end of the file system and the end of the device.
This space is exclusively reserved for paging, and even if it is not
being used for paging, it cannot be used for any other purpose. Device
paging areas typically provide the fastest paging."

My questions
1)"mass storage device" refers to Hard Disk?
2)device refers to Hard Disk?
