Hello I have a couple of questions about aio and linux's implementation of it. 1. What's the difference between i/o being done asynchronously within the kernel and external apps using aio thru some api. I've read this post http://archive.lug.boulder.co.us/bymonth/2002.06/msg00500.html and it's a little confusing. From what I understand all i/o is routed thru the kernel, so if the kernel does it asynchronously so should any applications. 2. What kind of support would an application require for an aio implementation for network operations or sockets. I presume that the current aio implementation for 2.5/2.6 doesn't support sockets, right? Again (related to 1) if networking is done asynchronously, according to the above link, then why would an application require asynchronous sockets? thanks Adeel ************************************************************** Scanned by MailScan Anti-Virus and Content Security Software.
