Without knowing alot of detail about CFQ, the idea itself seems a bit far-fetched UNLESS it is taking into account time for the head to seek back and forth, and tries to organize everything into a proper pattern instead of what could be taking things as they come, giving them all the same time (meaning multiple reads for longer files), and doing things in the order in which they are requsted (in other words, spends as much time seeking as reading). I think deadline itself is a safer bet unless you are having to read several long files, and need them all in about the same time (in which case you should probably be looking into a RAID anyways). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
