AFAIK, major page faults are generated when data that is not yet present on RAM is loaded from disk, but in this case data is being write do disk, I can't see how writes can generate faults, but still, it seems that is happening, ... !?

Is that possible?

I never pay close attention on these kind of stuffs, but IMHO there is a chance that this "write" is actually "update". So it is kind of "read data- update data - flush data" cycle. Close enough to graph generation behaviour, don't you think...
