There are numerous # stability issues in the current aio code that make it unsuitable for # inclusion on shell boxes. options VFS_AIO Can someone comment on aio status? Is the doc out of sync with what's going on under the hood? I haven't seen anything in the monthly status reports nor on any of the lists over the last 6+ months. The mailing lists seem to indicate that what bugs have been found have been squashed, but I don't know if the code has been MFC'ed. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
