MD raid, and devicemapper stuff are typically bio based, so they don't have no queue nor elevator/scheduler. > And, do they interfere when one is CFQ and another deadline? If you had stacked request based devices, they probably would interfere, and I'd suggest to set some levels of such a stack to no-op. > Another point is, are those /dev/dm-x devices consistent on reboots? Most of the time, unless you changed "something", but not "reliably". But they are not relevant. Why not just use deadline as default scheduler, and be done with it ;-) (kernel boot parameter elevator=deadline) -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria. __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed
