Linux retains the start time of each process: ~$ ps -ef|grep dd ... root 4338 4307 95 14:49 pts/0 00:00:48 dd if=/dev/zero of=./test ... The 5th column shows the start time. If the process has been running more than 24 hours the start date will be shown instead of the start time. > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=deadline" > > and ran > ~# update-grub > > I checked if the right scheduler is running: > > ~$ cat /sys/block/sdk/queue/scheduler > noop [deadline] cfq > > Is this correct what I did?
