Hundstad" <jeffrey.hundstad@...u.edu> To: Lukas Hejtmanek <xhejtman@....muni.cz> CC: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@...putergmbh.de>, "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: Disk schedulers Lukas Hejtmanek, I have to say, that I've heard this subject before, the summary answer seems to be, that the kernel can not guess the wishes of the user 100% of the time. If you have a low priority I/O task use ionice(1) to set the priority of that task so it doesn't nuke your high priority task. I have to personal stake in this answer but I can report that for my high I/O tasks it does work like a charm. -- Jeffrey Hundstad Lukas Hejtmanek wrote: > On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 03:42:58PM +0100, Jan Engelhardt wrote: > >> Also consider >> - DMA (e.g. only UDMA2 selected) >> - aging disk >> > > it's not the case. > > hdparm reports udma5 is used, if it is reliable with libata. > > The disk is 3 months old, kernel does not report any errors.
