UNIX HP-UX

Hi,

Will anybody tell me what is this 'intransient blocking page faults' in HP-UX, it is in the structure _pst_vminfo in the header file /ust/include/sys/pstat/vm_pstat_body.h?

Take another look. I think it's intransit.

A process has page faulted because it needs a page to be brought in from disk. However the paging system has discovered that it has already requested that page on behalf of another process. So the current process must simply sleep until the page arrives in memory.
