What is swap space? |
|
Answer» SWAP space, as the name suggests, is basically a space on a hard DISK that is used when the amount of physical memory or RAM is full. It is considered a substitute for physical memory. Its main function is to substitute disk space for RAM memory when real RAM does not have enough space to HOLD all programs that are EXECUTING, and more space is required. In simple words, it can be used as an extension of RAM by Linux. |
