Operating System fragmentation + – srestha asked Dec 31, 2017 srestha 991 views answer comment Share Follow See all 2 Comments See all 2 2 Comments reply gauravkc commented Dec 31, 2017 reply Follow Share True. Similar in the way fixed partitioning suffers. The size of page is constant. Entire page size is available irrespective of size you need (For eg. If a page table has few entries. Still entire page is wasted for that page table even though it might not even need half of the size of the page) 2 votes 2 votes skyby commented Dec 31, 2017 reply Follow Share true 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
2 votes 2 votes True Last page allocated for a process may not be completely used by the process This unused space will not be available for other processes. If page size is large, causes more internal fragmentation. sh!va answered Dec 31, 2017 sh!va comment Share Follow See 1 comment See all 1 1 comment reply srestha commented Dec 31, 2017 reply Follow Share why only last page? 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
0 votes 0 votes True, the purpose of paging is to deal with external fragmentation in the main memory & it is quite successful in doing so. But the last page of the process has almost have half the size of page as internal fragment. manikantsharma answered Jun 23, 2020 manikantsharma comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
