What is the correlation between Page Fault and I/O?
I'm taking a course on OS in the Linux Kernel and it's written in my course and here's what's written in it:
Big Page Cache is causing more Page Faults and thus less I/O.
Small Page Cache is causing less Page Faults and thus more I/O.
Why is that true ? What is the link between Page Fault and I/O ?
