Public bug reported: I noticed that Ubuntu still uses the Anticipatory disk scheduler by default:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Considering that (if I'm not mistaken) both RedHat and SuSE use CFQ by default, shouldn't Ubuntu use CFQ too? When one looks at the algorithm, it's obvious it could improve desktop interactivity. I also did some bonnie benchmarks a while back which also indicated that cfq and deadline perform the best. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Disk Scheduler Algorithm https://launchpad.net/bugs/53522 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
