Subject: Setting disk parameters in a VM
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:58:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49BA90B2.80804@tmr.com> (raw)

Based on a discussion in another list on ioschedulers, I added a few 
lines to my rc.local to set the scheduler to "noop" for disks with model 
QEMU*, to the scheduling in the VM will not be computing with the 
scheduling in the host.

I wonder if the same thinking applies to the "rotational" feature added 
to /sys/block in 2.6.29, intended for SSD but probably appropriate for 
virtual and nbd devices as well.
