What is the correlation between Page Fault and I/O?

214 Views Asked by At

I'm taking a course on OS in the Linux Kernel and it's written in my course and here's what's written in it:

Big Page Cache is causing more Page Faults and thus less I/O. 
Small Page Cache is causing less Page Faults and thus more I/O.

Why is that true ? What is the link between Page Fault and I/O ?
