In that document they say that the file is opened with O_CIO and I expected to find that in the truss output. But thinking about it: Oracle wants to open the while with the async option, but this request is handled by the aioserver which then should open the file with the cio option.

I thought of something like #ifdef AIX mountopts = O_CIO. But when thinking about it, it is clear that this is not really necessary. Thanks and Regards, uwe -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
