What is major difference between the Historic Unix and the new BSD release of Unix System V in terms of Memory Management?
By admin on May 8, 2007 in Unix/Linux Interview Questions
Historic Unix uses Swapping – entire process is transferred to the main memory from the swap device, whereas the Unix System V uses Demand Paging – only the part of the process is moved to the main memory. Historic Unix uses one Swap Device and Unix System V allow multiple Swap Devices.
