Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:10:34 +0200 From: "Ulrich Windl" <Ulrich.Windl@...uni-regensburg.de> To: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: "Ulrich Windl" <Ulrich.Windl@...uni-regensburg.de> Subject: Q: /sys/block and I/O Schedulers Hi! I have a question: Reading the docs on I/O Schedulers, I had the impression the docs wanted to tell me that only the low-level devices (i.e. disks) use I/O Schedulers, while higher-level devices (like multipaths, RAIDs, LVs, etc.) don't. Using the SLES11 SP1 kernel (2.6.32.43-0.4-xen), I found out that LVs seem to use the I/O Scheduler, while RAID1 don't seem to do so. Also a disk in a Xen DomU also uses an I/O Scheduler (in addition to those being used in Dom0 for the same device already) Is that correct, and if so, why is that? Is there a change to be seen in the future? My test was as simple as this: /sys/block # for d in * > do > echo $d: $(<$d/queue/scheduler) > done cciss!c0d0: noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] dm-0: noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] [...] loop0: none [...] md4: none sda: noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] [...] As I'm not subscribed to the list, I'd appreciate any CC: to my address. Thanks!
