    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.

    regards,

    Rik
