- I hope that some of you out there can help me!!
-
- I'm on a sun sparc (4.1.2) and I have three disks
- attached to it. Now I want to read off the disks
- simultaneously from the same process. I know that
- it is possible to do this with sockets and a SIGIO
- signal handler, but with a fd to disks, it doesn`t seem
- to work. Is there a different method for disks?
- So my question is, does someone out there
- have a function that starts an asynchronous read to
- disk on the sun? Or can at the least show me some
- code to do this??
