"[root@server ~]# elvtune /dev/hda

elvtune is only useful on older kernels;
for 2.6 use IO scheduler sysfs tunables instead.."

Thats what I get.

I did say:

"I assume you are talking about Centos 3.x with the 2.4 kernel"

For tweaking the io schedulers in 2.6, you need to mount the sysfs filesystem which is under /sys on RHEL4/Centos4. Play around with the values under /sys/block/devicename/queue/*.
