noop or deadline on an SSD?

[Pedro Ribeiro]

Hi all,

I recently moved my system to an SSD.

I decided to do what the XFS FAQ says (
http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_I_want_to_tune_my_XFS_filesystems_for_.3Csomething.3E)
and I used all the defaults for creating the new XFS file systems.

However the paragraph above also reads: "As of kernel 3.2.12, the default
i/o scheduler, CFQ, will defeat much of the parallelization in XFS."

Ok, I also read that with an SSD I should be using noop or deadline. And
which one of these would perform better with XFS with an SSD? And while I'm
at it, which one would be best for a  mechanical drive?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pedro
