Hi, Is there a way to determine the number of page faults which occur because a certain page has been paged out to disk and then back into memory (i.e. page faults that would have been avoided if the VM subsystem didn't swap the page to disk)? I know that major page faults are the ones that require reading the page from disk, but I think major page faults would count the pages being brought into memory for the first time also. I'm not sure pgpgin gives me what I want either, though I'm not sure. Maybe I will need to instrument the kernel to get this information?
