Is MMAP buggy in FreeBSD like some UNIXes? I heard some rumors to that
effect.
Has anyone successfully (and reliably) used ACT_STYLE=MMAP and/or the
nnrpd shared active patch? Does it really increase performance on a
FreeBSD 2.1.0 system?
If you have, how much shared memory and stuff did you allow for in your
kernel config file? I would like to support an active file > 1 MB big
(full feed).
(My INN is working fine without MMAP, BTW -- just trying to be as RAM
conservative as I can.)
Thanks
