Well, I'm starting from Michael's premise that deadline would be better for latency for most desktop users (regardless of disk type), and clearly better when using SSD. This leads me to a different conclusion than the above. It's irrelevant for cloud and any other virt deployment of Atomic or Server. As far as I know, the special case on hardware where cfq is better is the one I outlined (on hardware, single spindle, prefer throughput, mixed workload) and I agree that it's okay to expect sysadmins to handle that. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
