The Linux distro is Red Hat 6.5. I have the following questions: · I/O scheduler – The default scheduler is Completely Fair Queuing (CFQ). However, it seems that for the Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel, the DEADLINE I/O scheduler is the default. For Red Hat, what do people normally set it to for highly IO intensive ERP systems? · Mount point options – Are there any recommendations for the mount points related settings for the FC storage? (noatime, nodiratime, max_batch_time=0, nobarrier) · Any other I/O related setting(s) that one should look into changing from the default value? Any feedback will be appreciated. Tanks, Amir
