Public bug reported: Ubuntu server now uses the '-generic' kernel, as the '-server' kernel doesn't exist anymore. With this change the default server disk scheduler changed from deadline to CFQ. This is very bad for servers, deadline should absolutely be the default for servers.
For example we moved some KVM images to an Ubuntu 12.04 server, but we had to revert as we got lots of disk errors and eventually frozen disks on these KVM's due to write timeouts. It took us a while before we found out that this 12.04 server used CFQ, which surprised us a lot. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008400 Title: Ubuntu server uses CFQ scheduler instead of deadline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/1008400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
