The CFQ scheduler is the default in Red Hat Enterprise 4 and recent Fedoras (3 and 4 IIRC). My FC4 system is usable even with processes like 'updatedb' running. http://www.redhat.com/magazine/008jun05/features/schedulers/ Maybe give one of those OSes a try and see what performance is like? Pertaining to the OP, if CFQ isn't sufficient to keep one NFS process from hogging the disk, I would take a look at bandwidth shaping (the tc and iptables utilities, assuming you are on Linux).
