Well...I used to get that error frequently with my non-mmap compiled inn
1.4. Now, I'm using unoff4, kernel 2.0.4, mmap turned on, and have not
seen such problems. I've been running this way aobut 10 days. I had to
reboot today due to fs corruption. That's one problem I've not been able
to shake on the news server. I thought it had finally gone away with teh
BSD NCR driver...but I was wrong.

I'm not sure. I'd think better hardware tuning would do as much or more
to help inn than mmap. Mine's due for some disk and cable upgrades.
over.views will move from it's own partition to it's own disk...and in go
the silver SCSI cables. The new disk I expect to help quite a bit.
