Hi Sandor:

Without the library libaio I got

08:32:46 libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
08:32:46 Please install libaio package. See machine notes.
08:32:46 Warning: Kernel Asynchronous I/O is disabled.

After installing the library and leaving raw devices disabled in kernel
(default), IDS 10 uses KAIO.

[root@tina 0333]# cat /proc/sys/fs/aio-nr

There is no more information on release notes but machine notes mention
the support of KAIO in kernel 2.6 but BOT the automagically activation.

Thanks
