FreeBSD does indeed support aynchronous I/O, but I'm curious, by what do you mean asynchronous I/O? It supports both signal-driven asynchronous I/O (most commonly used to/from a socket...) as well as mounting filesystems asynchronously. Since you sent mail to fs@freebsd.org, I assume you are refering to the latter. In order to enable asynchronous I/O on a filesystem, specify the ``-o async'' option to your mount command line, or add the ``async'' keyword to the options field in /etc/fstab. Hope this helps some. - Dan C. [btw- questions@freebsd.org would probably have been a better forum for a question of this nature...]
