+
+	<para>This VFS module is part of the
+	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+	<para>The <command>aio_fork</command> VFS module enables async
+	I/O for Samba on platforms where the system level Posix AIO
+	interface is insufficient. 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.  </para>
+
+	<para>To work around all these limitations, the aio_fork module
+	was written. It uses forked helper processes instead of the
+	internal Posix AIO interface to create asynchronousity for
+	read and write calls. It has no parameters, it will create
+	helper processes when async requests come in as needed. Idle
+	helper processes will be removed every 30 seconds.

+	<para>This module is stackable.</para>
