Thanks for the reply Mulyadi. I did read somewhere that request queues are maintained on a per thread basis. If that is true then the I/O schedulers should be fair on a per thread basis rather than on a per process basis. Can someone please confirm if the request queues are maintained on a per thread basis?
AFAIK, request queues are maintained per block device basis (2.6) and not thread or process basis. -- Goldwyn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
