Bug 94780 – Add a script to configure kernel IO schedulers

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 94909
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[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
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

/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.
