Hi, just wondering if the regression introduced by the changes for
'fast path' to the mmap MAP_NOSYNC behaviour will be fixed for 10.1 ?

We have been doing some testing with 10.1-BETA3 and the regression makes
10.1 completely unusable because we rely very heavily on this long standing
feature of mmap. Our database design mmaps large files (eg. several gigabytes)
and we manually control when the sync happens by using fsync() at appropriate
times.
Paul.
