Hey,

Perhaps this sounds like a dumb question, but I've not been able to
find the answer:

libuv uses completion ports in Windows and eio in Unix in general.
Shouldn't it also use aio ( https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-async/
) in Linux?

I mean, and correct me if I'm wrong, Node "fs" module is now optimized
for Windows and not Linux, right?
Personally I'd like to see that module not using the thread pool...

Thanks,

-Pedro

The fs module is not optimized for windows. On windows we basically do
the same thing as on unix, doing filesystem operations in a thread
pool.
In theory windows supports real asynchronous file i/o but there were
too many problems with it.

Did file watching at least get moved to native or are we still just polling in the thread pool?

It did, but only fs.watch() and not watchFile().

I also expect there to be some bugs (please report them). Features and
APIs wildly differ across platforms so it is very hairy to get right.
Also I should say that only local filesystems are reliable, it will
probably fail silently on nfs drives.
