Does your database transparently DMA the buffer cache to the NIC after loading the file in the background using read-ahead without any process context switching or upcalls to userland?

That's what I thought.

Does your filesystem provide for its files that are referenced by your DB the same versioning, consistent backups, and ACID guarantees as the DB does?

That's what I thought.
