If process requires a new page and doesn't have a free page in its own set it will request a page from the free list - this generates a minor fault.

minor faults -- but see the -S option for how this field is modified.<br />
vmstat -S<br />
Report on swapping rather than paging activity. This option will change two fields in vmstat's ``paging'' display: rather than the ``re''and ``mf'' fields,<br />
vmstat will report ``si'' (swap-ins) <br />
and ``so'' (swap-outs).<br />
Increase your swap.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
