I noticed that the default elevator applies to everything, including USB memory sticks. I thought the block device driver would change the I/O scheduler to something more appropriate for a memory stick, such as the noop scheduler.
While we're on the subject, I've also noticed that memory sticks are no longer mounted with synchronous writes in 10.2. I very nearly found this out the hard way, by losing data. I now make sure I issue a 'sync' command before unplugging my memory stick.
