Question 10

Which of the following is a side effect of extensive usage of swap space?

  • C. Since processes always exist completely in either RAM or swap, regular RAM may become unused if the kernel does not move processes back from the swap space to memory.
  • D. The memory may become fragmented and slow down the access to memory pages. However, this can be kept to a minimum by the regular use of memfrag -d.
  • E. Applications need to restart because their virtual memory addresses change to reflect memory relocation to the swap address area.
