The default IO scheduler in 2.6.18 will be CFQ (Complete Fair Queuing)

the discussion about this change with no luck.

That wiki document nicely shows the advantage of the scheduler, namely
that you have "ionice", which isn't possible for AS or Deadline
Schedulers - this allows the operating system to run processes like
updatedb with "nice I/O", meaning these hold when you're doing other
I/O.

Should there be a default scheduler per filesystem? As some filesystems may perform better/worse with one over another?
