SubjectRe: Linux Buffer Cache Does Not Support Mirroring

NWFS uses the Netware mirroring model which is different in semantic.
NWFS expects the cache to conrol mirroring and not a "spoofing driver".
THe file system knows mirroring is there are does some fancy reovery
because of this. NWFS mirroring is also able to run distributed, unlike
RAID in linux.....
