Hi to the list,
I've compiled a 2.6.12 kernel in my debian system (using the debian
sources). I want to obtain the best latency possible without using the
realtime patch. I've noted that there are three i/o scheduler in the
kernel config:
Device Drivers --->
Block devices --->
IO Schedulers --->
<*> Anticipatory I/O scheduler
<*> Deadline I/O scheduler
<*> CFQ I/O scheduler
I've compiled them all as built-in. Which is best for low-latency audio
work? Can I change the scheduler while the system is running (I read it
somewhere)?
The file /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler contains:
noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq
so which scheduler am I using now? I've tried to echo cfg to that file
but it remains the same.
I appreciate any information, link or other to make light on the matter.
Thanks for any answer,
~ Antonio
