i'm not sure, but it could be because of the 'j' (Journaling). A journaling
filesystem is different from another kind of filesystem, and i'm not sure
about what it could mean mmap for a file in a journal filesystem.
A journal filesystem uses two stages for writing, the journal and the real
data. So when you try to mmap a file for writing in a journal filesystem it
can be very tricky to implement, but for reading there is no problem because
when you read a file you get the file from the data, not from the journal.
