Posix AIO can suffer from severe - limitations. For example, on some Linux versions the - real-time signals that it uses are broken under heavy load. - Other systems only allow AIO when special kernel modules are - loaded or only allow a certain system-wide amount of async - requests being scheduled. Systems based on glibc (most Linux - systems) only allow a single outstanding request per file - descriptor which essentially makes Posix AIO useless on systems - using the glibc implementation.</para> - - <para>To work around all these limitations, the aio_linux module - was written. It uses the Linux kernel AIO interface instead of the - internal Posix AIO interface to allow read and write calls - to be processed asynchronously. A queue size of 128 events - is used by default. To change this limit set the "aio num events" - parameter below. - </para> - - <para> - Note that the smb.conf parameters <command>aio read size</command> - and <command>aio write size</command> must also be set appropriately - for this module to be active. - </para> - - <para>This module MUST be listed last in any module stack as - the Samba VFS pread/pwrite interface is not thread-safe.
