"The operating system must have a unified buffer cache in order for the
memory-mapped I/O extension to work correctly, especially in situations whe=

two processes are accessing the same database file and one process is using
memory-mapped I/O while the other is not. Not all operating systems have a
unified buffer cache. In some operating systems that claim to have a unified
buffer cache, the implementation is buggy and can lead to corrupt databases=

Note that FreeBSD with ZFS doesn't have a unified buffer cache (mmap'd files
are duplicated in the ARC and regular kernel buffers).  I don't know whether

Also, I noticed that other distributions like Debian are not enabling the m=

option, and are going with pread/pwrite despite their unified buffer cache.
