Hi Keir,

I'm using the kernel option "elevator=cfq" on both dom0 and domU's. However, the output of "cat /sys/block/sda1/queue/scheduler" within a domU is still "[noop] anticipatory deadline cfq". Does this mean that cfq is NOT being used even though the dmesg shows "io scheduler cfq registered (default)".

...dom0 shows "noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]"

Thank you,
Brian

I've seen from time to time where a domU using heavy disk I/O can slow down an entire server (including all other domU's and dom0). Is there a way to schedule or limit this in Xen 3.0.3?

You should be able to use the CFQ I/O scheduler in domain0 to set per-domain scheduling parameters.
