That actually sounds pretty neat, like the cache on a RAID 
card / DAE. Sounds like it would help out a lot with many small files, 
i.e. our CVS repository. Especially vs. synchronous FFS.

I'm trying to port NetBSD to my cup of tea, but it keeps kernel panicking 
on refill. This is odd, because I ported it to my toaster and my bookcase 
easily enough and it survives bread- and book-replacement fine.

Any hints?
