Hi all,
I installed Nginx 0.8.14 to try out a new feature: AIO support. Also, I
compiled Nginx with --with-file-aio
However, Nginx show warnings that it does not support AIO:
Starting nginx: [emerg]: unknown directive “aio” in
/usr/local/nginx/nginx.conf:46
Here is my configuration
location ~* ^\/files\/(.+) {
alias /home/files/$1;
internal;
aio on;
# sendfile off;
directio 512;
}
Is this feature experimental and withdrawn?
Hello!

No, the feature is here. Looks like you are running wrong binary
(or doesn’t compiled it properly).

Could you show this ./configure line:
checking for Linux AIO support …
?
Probabaly, your kernel does not support eventfd(), it’s available since
2.6.22 only.
BTW, instead of
location ~* ^\/files\/(.+) {
alias /home/files/$1;
it’s better to use just
location /files/ {
root /home;Hi Igor
Here is the output after I run ./configure
checking for OS

It says nothing about Linux AIO. Also, directio is said not to be found.
I am using CentOS 5.3 with libaio, libaio-devel installed. It seems that
the kernel equipped with CentOS 5.3/Redhat ES 5.3 is too old to support
this feature.
Thanks,
Dinh

Oops, looking at configure code - it doesn’t fail when it’s unable
to find any AIO support with --with-file-aio.
I think it should.

You are right, it will be fixed in the next release.

BTW, nginx does not requires libaio at all. It uses direct syscalls.

It’s strange: if you add --with-file-aio, you should see here:

Conversely found:

You probably mixed up with F_NOCACHE which is MacOSX feature.

Nothing can be more clear, your kernel does not suppport AIO -> Linux
2.6.18
Upgrade your kernel to 2.6.22 or newer!
Probabaly, your kernel does not support eventfd(), it’s available since
2.6.22 only.

Sorry, I can’t seem to edit a post.
This:
Upon closer examination, it says checking for AIO… not
found. I also notice directio says not found, and I want to use
directio feature as well.
Should be:

also notice directio says not found, and I want to use directio feature
as well.
In other words, it says “AIO… found” yet it doesn’t work.

I am having a similar problem and could use some help.
nginx 0.8.36 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 2.6.32-21.
When I compile with --with-file-aio, it compiles fine but doesn’t work:
