Re: HOWTO: Make Ubuntu more responsive when you have high disk IO

Hello

nice thread

I was also wandering about this elevator thing since i read about it some time ago.
I have tried elevator=cfq but that seem to reduce my system speed
e.g. throughput via usb(2) to external disk reduces ~50% with cfq here.
So then i went back to standard dapper elevator.

Now after reading here i have tried elevator=deadline which seems to be really faster.
but as a tradeoff the disk seems to make more noise -> which could reduce disk lifetime?? (i am braded with this...)

Any one a idea about that?

TIA
