Hello,
After some months of usage of BFQ kernel scheduler I can only talk about its effective improvement for HDD I/O.
Since this evidence, I was asking myself why BFQ it is not used as default scheduler, replacing the standard CFQ.
Because it has not been merged into Linux last time I checked.
Yeah I cant find any evidence of that either And looking at BFQ's own benchmarks I wouldn't say the picture is clear that BFQ is better than CFQ in all circumstances http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/results.php http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/old-results/4.4.0-v7r11/ more throughput on an Hitachi & SEAGATE HDD, less on a Plextor SSD, no different on a microSDHC card I like what they're doing and hope they get it into the kernel one day soon, but until they do I do not see a compelling case for changing openSUSE's default to an unsupported out of kernel IO scheduler -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
