For local INN storage you can avoid the mtime issue simply by using raw
disk partitions. For cycbufs, you don't need the filesystem -- just treat
the raw disk as the file. By bypassing the filesystem you eliminate all
of its overhead. The INN documentation describes how to set this up. You
might want to try this before committing $$$$$$$$$$ to a netapp filer.
