Thanks Jim. I'll post the patch to the libaio folks also so we can keep things in synch.

That's a question for Julian (cc'ed).


Thanks... but... you... never... said... why?

Because libaio is often not included in the distro. In order to avoid breaking the build we either had to include checks in the Makefile for the existence of the library and build if necessary, or just statically build within the tree. We chose the latter since it was the cleanest approach.
