Gal,
I haven't done this before. But you can be sure that if you need to use
ext2/3 or XFS on top of it, then it is local.
In Linux it is actually the filesystem (not the storage device) that defines
whether a file can be mmaped and provides the POSIX semantics.
If you really want to find someone that 'did it', why not try the DB mailing
list? SVN is just another DB user, as far as I can tell. And it has a much
larger user base.
Good luck.
Jan Evert
PS: be sure to let us know in the end what you found out and whether you
succeeded! Always useful for others.
