I think "anticipatory" is the default IO scheduler for SuSE 9.3 (from
Google).
What would you recommend for cyrus? (or for ext3 running cyrus)?
And are
there prefered scheduler for other fs, too, especially reiser and xfs?
It would probably depend on your setup. Given the problem you
describe, tho, I would think that "deadline" would improve your
performance. The 2.6 kernel has many tunable parameters. If you're
pushing a server at all near its limits, you probably need to become
an expert in performance tuning. Or buy more hardware :)
