Description Emmanuel Rosa 2005-06-01 14:58:17 UTC

Some 2.6 kernels (aka ck-sources allow users to select IO schedulers for their
block devices. This is done by echoing either anticipatory, deadline, or cfq to
/sys/block/BLOCKDEV/queue/scheduler. I'm proposing a script to handle this at
boot time. I will attach a priliminary effort.

Reproducible: Always

/etc/init.d/ioscheduler: Kernel IO scheduler selector script

/etc/init.d/ioscheduler
Just save and add to boot runlevel (rc-update add ioscheduler boot). When
executed, it reads /etc/conf.d/ioscheduler to determine what scheduler to use
for each block device available during boot.

this is kind of limited imho and doesnt really belong in baselayout

any suggestions as to an alternative package to stick this with ?
