Yes, we're using GPFS, but haven't turned on mmap_disable=yes. I believe
GPFS should handle mmap across the cluster, and it's been working fine
without this setting with the old v1.0.0+. 

Do you have any idea what the performance impact should be of turning on
mmap_disable=yes ?

Ok, we are planning to move to v1.1, but figured we needed to first move
to a high number v1.0-release to have the option of reverting from a
v1.1 if we hit any problems.. Not quite sure how we'll handle this now.
