[rootd;29may94] Paging space is hard-drive space which is used as virtual RAM. Unix boxes use paging space constantly, swapping processes out to the hard-drive and into RAM constant. Remember that “paging space” is the same as “swap space”. There are two types of paging-space on sun systems (and many other types of Unix systems as well): paging files, and paging partitions. Paging files are actual files (you can do an ls and find them in a directory somewhere) in the filesystem. Paging partitions are separate disk partitions, and as such are not in the filesystem. A filesystem has two types of overhead.
