Odd, so it's posix_fadvise() getting EINVAL. Most likely reason for that is that fio is not picking up the right values for it. It finds them here, on this platform: AIX aixbuild 3 5 00C1DC964C00 Does it need some other magic on AIX 7 to find them? You can bypass the error by setting invalidate_cache=0, but it would be great if you could dig around a bit in /usr/include and see what is up. Alternatively, if I can log into the machine, I can definitely fix it up. -- Jens Axboe
