Disk characteristics for virtual machines

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Justin (jpiszcz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) was discussing the ioscheduler for SSD, and I was thinking about that in terms of virtual machines, since I run a lot of small servers using KVM. So I added a short script to my rc.local, to use the "noop" scheduler for any drive with model QEMU* so that the underlying host scheduling can work without anything competing.

I was wondering if that should also apply to the "rotational" feature added in 2.6.29, since these "devices" are backed by files.
