RE: Size of a page?

Jan, what is the context of your question? Just curious. There are various interesting places where page size has some importance. The size of a user space, e.g., is always rounded up by the system to page-size multiples. It is the minimum IO block size, although IO can occur in blocks of multiple pages. Etc.

Hi Jan

>> Is a page always 4096-byte block?

The short answer is "It depends on the size of the book and the mouthfuls
you take" ;-)

The more appropriate answer, though, is yes.

All the best

Jonathan
