Well, the patch and staying clear of 'anticipatory' seem to be doing fine, so far so good. I have had some other problems with 'ancipatory', so I am suspicious of it too. For interactive use I think that 'cfq' is better anyhow, so that's my default. Unfortunately I am trying to do some simple file system driver performance tests, and 'anticipatory' is the kernel default elevator, and thus presumably the one that matters to most people. I am considering doing the test with 'noop', but that's not fair either, as it seems some file systems are designed assuming some sort of elevator sorting does happen. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
