No, that boot option was a mistake, let's not propagate that to mq scheduling as well.=20 Can you please explain why? I as well have requests from our users to select the mq schedulers on the command line.=20 Because it sucks as an interface - there's no way to apply different settings to different devices, and using the kernel command line to control something like this is ugly. It never should have been done. =20 The sysfs interface, either manually, scripted, or through udev, makes a lot more sense. =20
One doubt: with the new interface, and using, I guess, udev, is it still possible to control which I/O scheduler is actually used during all the boot process, or at least almost all of it? Thanks, Paolo
