Hi all, I can't find out what is the exact differenct between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. I've found out that /dev/mem is the physical memory, while /dev/kmem is linear or virtual memory of the kernel. But, as i've understood, only processes have virtual memory. so what does /dev/kmem actually is ? thanks a lot, R. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
