Hello,

Looking at this from a different approach. Lets say the filesystem 
consists of only a few huge files (INN CNFS news spools for example) .. 
the number of or size of these files wouldn't change.. but another 
system would be updating the contents of the files.. would this work? 
Does the fs cache cache contents?

BTW, thanks for all the insight on this thus far guys!
