What is a Swap space?
- Swap space is hard disk space that extends
system RAM.
Swap space or virtual memory is hard disk
space that acts as an extension of system RAM. Of
course, due to the relative differential in data access on RAM versus hard
disk, we prefer not to use swap space if it can be avoided. Nonetheless, it is
vital to the proper functioning of a typical Linux system that some swap
space be made available.
