I consider CNFS prior to 2.3 to be alpha-quality, I had _many_ issues with
it in 2.2.x.  2.3 looks highly promising but has hardly been out for
several years.

Meanwhile, NNTPcache has been using mmap intelligently to cache in storage
pools for over four and a half years.  I've been using it since 1996
myself, starting on a Sun 4/330 running Solaris 2.4.  Solid stuff.
