Actually with gemini, the table handler will cache data in a mechanism that
is generally more efficient than a filesystem for very heavy update
workloads. Gemini has raw device support, but it will not be enabled in the
alpha release.

No, and since MySQL relies on the operating system to cache table data,
you would get horrible performance anyway (the OS does not cache raw
devices).
