Indeed, any app doing what volanomark does is pretty inefficient. But this is not the point. I/O schedulers are pluggable to help for inefficient apps too. If apps would be extremely smart they would all use async-io for their reads, and there wouldn't be the need of anticipatory scheduler just for an example. The fact is there's no technical explanation for which we're forbidden to be able to choose between CFS and O(1) at least at boot time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
