More info from the innd doc:

    1. Use a raw disk partition (best). This will give you the most speed,
        but it requires your OS support mmap() on a block device. Solaris
        supports this, FreeBSD and Linux (without patches) do not. Also on
        many PC-based Unixes it is difficult to create more than eight
        partitions, which may limit your options. See the Creating the
        Article Spool entry elsewhere in this document for more discussion
        of how to set this up.

Does Tru64 support mmap() ?
