Manpages ELVTUNESection: Maintenance Commands (8)Updated: 14 March 2000 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEelvtune - I/O elevator tunerSYNOPSISelvtune [ -r r_lat ] [ -w w_lat ] [ -b b_max ] /dev/blkdev1 [ /dev/blkdev2 ... ]elvtune -h DESCRIPTIONelvtune 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
NOTEActually 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 VALUE0 on success and 1 on failure.HISTORYIoctls for tuning elevator behaviour were added in Linux 2.3.99-pre1.AUTHORSAndrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> SuSE
