As usual I suspect the best thing is to just use noop for these kinds of
cases. E.g. when you use xfs with the filestreams options you'll get
patterns pretty similar to that in the initial post - that is
intentional as it is generally use to place them into different areas
of a complex RAID array. Any scheduler "smarts" will just help to break these
I/O streams.
