What's the correct way to change configuration parameters for an iSCSI
device? For example I/O scheduler, max_sectors_kb, etc...
I could add commands to the S99local script:
echo noop > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler
echo 64 > /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb
Unfortunately, iSCSI device names might change from sdb to, say, sdc
(server reboot, iSCSI target reconnection). If this happens, customizations
would be lost or applied to a different device.
Any workaround for this using centOS? sysctl, udev, anything else? It also
may be applied to Fiber Channel devices.
Finally I think using udev to tune device config is the best and
simplest way.
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-san.rules
# $Id: 99-san.rules.udev 13 2008-11-28 10:20:32Z santi $
# Set "noop" as I/O scheduler for iSCSI and Fiber Channel devices
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}!="filesystem", ENV{ID_PATH}=="*-iscsi-*", RUN+="/bin/sh
-c 'echo noop > /sys$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler'"
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}!="filesystem", ENV{ID_PATH}=="*-fc-*", RUN+="/bin/sh -c
'echo noop > /sys$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler'"
(To prevent line wrapping, udev rule it's also available at
http://pastebin.com/f5ce875a1)
When new iSCSI or FC device is added udevd will execute $RUN command; I set
!="filesystem" condition to prevent running the command for each partition,
executing only for block devices.
