It can be changed on the fly at runtime. According to this URL http://kerneltrap.org/node/3851 I should see the currently chosen scheduler between "[]" between all available schedulers, so this should indicate that "anticipatory" is my current scheduler (is that correct?): Panoramix:/sys/block/sda/queue# cat scheduler noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq The same URL says that echo'ing the name of the scheduler of choice into the file should reset the scheduler to that one, so this should set the scheduler to "cfg": Panoramix:/sys/block/sda/queue# echo cfg > scheduler Checking: Panoramix:/sys/block/sda/queue# cat scheduler noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq Nothing changed.
