BTW, that IBM article... it doesn't mention what versions they used, which I think is very important :-(.

With this change the default server disk scheduler changed from deadline to CFQ. This is very bad for servers, deadline should absolutely be the default for servers. For example we moved some KVM images to an Ubuntu 12.04 server, but we had to revert as we got lots of disk errors and eventually frozen disks on these KVM's due to write timeouts. It took us a while before we found out that this 12.04 server used CFQ, which surprised us a lot.
