Now I'm a little more confused. Does `ionice` need the CFQ scheduler?
Nope. I/O scheduling priorities are part of the I/O scheduler, not the CPU
scheduler.
CFQ is the official I/O scheduler.
ionice only works with CFQ.
I'm confused about which of all these various mechanisms apply to single-cpu
machines. AFAICT Con's BFS (e.g.) is really a CPU scheduler and doesn't affect
single-cpu machines very much. What about CFQ and group scheduling? Others?
Thanks for any clues.
