I am trying to understand Linux as well as learn Linux.
I read that Linux virtual memory system "pages" to disk rather than
"swaps" to disk, even though the space is still called "swap
space" -- file or partition(s). can someone explain (in very simple
terms) the difference between swapping and paging? or can someone
point me towards an on-line source of clarity.
I understand what is being paged are 4kb pagres of memory. What I
don't understand is why that is different than swapping.
