Noop basically fails here because it treats all IO as equal, which obviously isn't true for most people. But even for pure read workloads (is the above the mixed read/write, or just read?), latency would be excellent with noop but the desktop experience would not. -- Jens Axboe _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
