My understanding of paging isn't as good as the developers, but I do know that memory isn't organized in an entirely sequential fashion..
Free memory is organized into "pages", 4096 byte chucks of memory.... If my system was shutdown, and someone attempted to recover information from RAM, several obvious obstacles would be: 1) Significant portions of the RAM would be corrupt or in an inconsistent state... 2) Important structures, like the page table could be lost... The "key" used by... mount_vnd for instance, wouldn't be in a predictable location.... how would you find it? This is a waste of bandwidth... -Nix Fan.
