I have mmap turned on under 2.0.4 and it has been running flawlessly for 4
days now. Feed of 18k groups, spool is 9GB running up to about 80% before
expire. This isn't that long a time, but I think it is an indicator. My
spool is on a single device if that makes any differenct. (A RAID 0 device
using md, runs nice.)
