Hi, all,

I just found out that xen assigns the NOOP disk scheduler for linux guest OSes. Dom0 uses cfq scheduler (it is the linux default).
Is there a reason for xen to turn off disk request merging in the quest OS by selecting a NOOP scheduler?
Is it because the request optimization will be performed in dom0 or VMM ?

Thansk in advance,
Jia.
