Maybe it is possible to write a new f_smgr implementation (parallel to md.c) that uses libaio. There is no "seek" in that interface, at least, though the interface does assume that the implementation is blocking. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
