Jim's reply may not make it clear that the letter o is short rather than long.

When Posix first came out, I attended a session where some Posix bigshots introduced themselves and discussed the standard. One person asked how to pronounce P-O-S-I-X. The bigshots had actually discussed this during one of their meetings. In addition to deciding the official pronunciation, they "invented" a little motto to help folks remember. It's "I'm positive about Posix" and the "pos" in both words is pronounced identically. After the meeting they even handed out "I'm positive about Posix" buttons. So get it right if you talk to one of them.... they apparently care. Smilie

VFS_AIO_LINUX(8)					    System Administration tools 					  VFS_AIO_LINUX(8)

NAME
vfs_aio_linux - implement async I/O in Samba vfs using Linux kernel aio calls SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = aio_linux DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite. The aio_linux VFS module enables asynchronous I/O for Samba on Linux kernels that have the kernel AIO calls available without using the Posix AIO interface. 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. 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. Note that the smb.conf parameters aio read size and aio write size must also be set appropriately for this module to be active. This module MUST be listed last in any module stack as the Samba VFS pread/pwrite interface is not thread-safe. This module makes direct pread and pwrite system calls and does NOT call the Samba VFS pread and pwrite interfaces. EXAMPLES
Straight forward use: [cooldata] path = /data/ice aio read size = 1024 aio write size = 1024 vfs objects = aio_linux OPTIONS
aio_linux:aio num events = INTEGER Set the maximum size of the event queue that is used to limit outstanding IO requests. By default this is set to 128. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite. AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. Samba 4.0 06/17/2014 VFS_AIO_LINUX(8)
