On that tangent, is that still true or is it only for older kernels that it's true? I was under the impression newer kernels implemented the aio interface but others seem to think it's not the case and glibc still emulates it with threads. Looking up the truth of the situation has been on my mental todo list for a while. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
