Thanks. We're on 2.4.21-9.0.1ELsmp. I think we'll stay away from both aio and O_DIRECT for the time being in production. Too many bugs in RH and O9i for my taste...

On the other hand, isn't open s/w magic? Where else would we get sources of information like bugzilla with an old fashioned OEM development? Received on Fri May 13 2005 - 00:09:04 CDT
