Embrace FreeBSD's nice asynchronous APIs for doing things! You know you want to! (Then, convert parts of samba over to use grand central dispatch... :-) Seriously though - I was doing network/disk IO using real time signals what, 10 + years ago on Linux and it plain sucked. AIO + kqueue + waitcomplete is just brilliant. kqueue for signal delivery is also just brilliant. Just saying.
