Subject:   mmap()'ing from raw devices?
Message-ID:  <01bcdccd$21159440$513654c7@cello.synapse.net>

I'd like to be able to mmap() from a block device (ie: /dev/sd3h).  I know
that 2.2 doesn't support this; can 3.0 do it, or could it be relatively
easily fixed to do it?

The application is on a CNFS news server.  CNFS makes heavy use of mmap(),
but otherwise has no use for a filesystem...

Thanks.

Evan
