SubjectRe: Linux Buffer Cache Does Not Support Mirroring

Basically, the buffercache is going to be reduced hardly more
than an I/O mapping layer (with probably some extras for
transactions and RAID). Caching will have to be done in the
page cache.

But that's something for kernel version 2.5 (when we'll probably
overhaul most of the cache stuff).

In the meantime, it would probably be best to use either your
own buffer.c or accept the fact that it's not going to be as
efficient as you'd like it to be.

Rik
