[Xen-users] Choosing best io elevator/scheduler for dom0

[Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@xxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out what would be the best io elevator/scheduler for
dom0.

As far as I know, each domU virtual disk device is seen as single process in 
dom0.. correct?

Then, say, I have domU with 3 devices (sda1,sda2,sda3).. and I access all of
those 3 devices in domU.. that would make 3 processes doing io in dom0?

elevator=cfg would be a good pick to share the io load fairly? Or
elevator=deadline to minimize the io latency..

Thanks for your comments!

(btw: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/008jun05/features/schedulers/
contains db benchmark also using different elevators)
