How is it possible to mount a volume, Raid or no, with no scheduler???

I think you're looking in the wrong place; you need to look at the sys
files for the disk (sda, sdb, or variations if your RAID controller
registers them differently) rather than the Device Mapper (DM) entries.
 They don't have IO schedulers associated with them.

Hmm...

Ah, I see the mix up. There is a "/dev/sda" entry in /etc/fstab for an ntfs
volume, but /etc/mtab shows

/dev/sda1 /boot ext4 rw 0 0

and fdisk run on /dev/sda lists it as a single 8 Tb disk. So sda is the raid after all. sda is using cfq scheduling.

As for swap, could it be someone built it with a kickstart that defined
it that way?

Pretty sure he just put in the Centos install DVD and let it default for most things, most likely including swap.

Thanks,
