  • 1.  Newer version of FIO 3.40 in AIX Toolbox

    Posted Fri May 30, 2025 09:15 AM

    The latest version of FIO in AIX toolbox is 3.38 which I am having issues running and it is recommended to upgrade to 3.40 which isn't available in the AIX Toolbox. Could this rpm be created and added so that I can upgrade FIO? I have tried building FIO from source, but it is running into conflict issues on AIX.
