Can you explain to me more about this mmaping? I was really going for the NFS solution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_mapped_files
Linux overcommits memory in a way that you can get an out of memory situation while *caching* big files from NFS. Memory mapping would talk to this cache aswell. If for what reason what so ever you get bigger files than your total amount of memory in your client system, this goes boom. So please test it for yourself :) this was my experience with Xen over NFS with direct mmaping :) Stefan
