Hi! > Should this attempt be useless as well, I will, if you do not mind, try by asking you more details about your system and reproducing your configuration as much as I can. > Try making BFQ the default scheduler. That seems to break it for me, when selected at runtime, it looks stable. Anyway, here are some speed tests. Background load: root@duo:/data/tmp# echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler root@duo:/data/tmp# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches root@duo:/data/tmp# cat /dev/zero > delme; cat /dev/zero > delme;cat /dev/zero > delme;cat /dev/zero > delme;cat /dev/zero > delme;cat /dev/zero > delme (Machine was running out of disk space.) (I alternate between cfq and bfq). Benchmark. I chose git describe because it is part of kernel build sometimes .. and I actually wait for that. pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-good$ time git describe warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous. v3.15-rc8-144-g405dedd Unfortunately, results are not too good for BFQ.
