I see what you mean, but it's really what I meant (as described in another
message).
The noop@dom0 is to lower (the already high) IO latency and leave all
optimizations to the storage to do, at least in theory.
In _my_ SAN, though, it's still worth using a local IO scheduler (though noop
is ok).
If you don't have at least a decent hardware-RAID controller with write cache
enabled, then it's a no-no.
About deadline@domU, that's perhaps even more peculiar.
Apparently. domU pestering dom0 too often with IO requests degrades
performance, at least in xen 3.0.x.
