With a traditional system, if you read something into your buffer, it never changes. With vfs.ioopt = 1, that read may be turned into a mmap() if the conditions are right. Specifically, if you are doing a page aligned read of one or more pages, your original page will be released and you will get a copy-on-write page mapped in. The problem with that is that it is copy-on-write for *you*, not everybody else. If somebody else subsequently changes the file, your buffer will automagically change. This is why it is off. The NFS zerocopy patches made some changes to the VM and buffer system to fix this. It was pretty simple to fix if I recall correctly.

At the time I tested this, native netscape died with a bus error (or segfault?, don't remember).
