[Bug 1378789] Re: [SRU] Set the default IO scheduler to CFQ in Kubuntu Trusty

2015-02-13 Thread Adam Porter
Thank you for making this change, finally. I'd just like to point out that Baloo is far from the only thing that uses ionice. mlocate even uses it by default when it's available. I also use it extensively in backup scripts and other long-running background operations. I even use it for Dropbox

I installed trusty on my machine which has a magnatic hard disk and a solid state hard disk. Looking in /sys/block/sd*/queue/scheduler I can see they are both using deadline. After installing kubuntu-settings-desktop from trusty-proposed and rebooting I check /sys/block/sd*/queue/scheduler agai

[09:16:35] OK. How about this for a plan: [09:17:31] Since it's changed in 14.10 and that's about to get large scale testing, we wait until ~ a month after 14.10 release to see if we get negative feedback and if not go ahead. [09:17:47] In the scheme of 5 years of LTS, that time is a detail.

system administrators can choose a different scheduler if they so wish. cfq is the kernel default hence probably better tested by everyone in the world than deadline. also since a quick web search suggests that deadline only offers better performance in database/server scenarios I doubt what is s

(wearing both my kubuntu and kde dev hat) Super important bug. It can make IO come to a crawl making desktop systems unusable on rationale media, which in turn makes users unhappy, users complain to upstream, user complain to us, users complain to users. This is not good. It makes people waste
