asynchronous I/O unsupported

[Ben Coates]

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sysbench --test=fileio --file-io-mode=async prepare
sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark

FATAL: asynchronous I/O mode is unsupported on this platform.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \l

looks like sysbench needs to be built against libaio to support asnyc tests

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Not yet fixed after almost year and half.
Anyone at Crapnonical cares for fixing old bugs or all resources are thrown at unneeded Mir?

fixed in 1.0.7+ds-1, currently in debian experimental

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package sysbench - 1.0.8+ds-1

---------------
sysbench (1.0.8+ds-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.
  * Patches: remove 02 and 05: merged upstream.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.0.0 (from 3.9.8; no further changes).
  * Control: limit build-depend on libaio-dev to linux-only. Libaio
    provides access to the Linux kernel asynchronous I/O system calls,
    limiting its use and availability to those architectures.
