elvtune

ELVTUNE(8)						      System Manager's Manual							ELVTUNE(8)

NAME

       elvtune - I/O elevator tuner

SYNOPSIS

       elvtune [-r r_lat] [-w w_lat] [-b b_max] device...
       elvtune -h
       elvtune -v

DESCRIPTION

       elvtune	allows	to  tune the I/O elevator per blockdevice queue basis. The tuning can be safely done at runtime. Tuning the elevator means
       being able to change disk performance and interactiveness. In the output of elvtune the address of the queue tuned will be shown and it can
       be  considered  as  a queue ID.	For example multiple partitions in the same harddisk will share the same queue and so tuning one partition
       will be like tuning the whole HD.

OPTIONS

       -r r_lat
	      set the max latency that the I/O scheduler will provide on each read.

       -w w_lat
	      set the max latency that the I/O scheduler will provide on each write.

       -b b_max
	      max coalescing factor allowed on writes when there are reads pending in the queue.

       -h     help.

       -v     version.

NOTE

       Actually the only fields tunable are those relative to the IO scheduler. It's not possible to select a one-way or two-way elevator yet.

       For logical blockdevices like LVM the tuning has to be done on the physical devices. Tuning the queue of the LVM logical device is useless.

RETURN VALUE

       0 on success and 1 on failure.

HISTORY

       Ioctls for tuning elevator behaviour were added in Linux 2.3.99-pre1.
