| 9 | The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging |
| 10 | and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like |
| 11 | memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments |
| 12 | that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from |
| 13 | the kernel. |

Jesper Juhl | a8e14b9 | 2007-02-17 20:08:22 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | The anticipatory I/O scheduler is generally a good choice for most |
| 20 | environments, but is quite large and complex when compared to the |
| 21 | deadline I/O scheduler, it can also be slower in some cases |
| 22 | especially some database loads. |

| 27 | ---help--- |
| 28 | The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact, and is often as |
| 29 | good as the anticipatory I/O scheduler, and in some database |
| 30 | workloads, better. In the case of a single process performing I/O to |
| 31 | a disk at any one time, its behaviour is almost identical to the |
| 32 | anticipatory I/O scheduler and so is a good choice. |

| 37 | ---help--- |
| 38 | The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally |
| 39 | among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair |
| 40 | working environment, suitable for desktop systems. |
