Probably not. Anticipatory (as) scheduler is the default, so unless you specify elevator=cfq on the boot line (or are running a patched kernel), you will be using that. You can look at the kernel boot messages to find out, or do the following in a shell after booting: # dmesg|grep "io scheduler" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
