To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Are there any existing patches for a backport of the 2.6 elevator abstraction (or a specific patch for anticipatory I/O) to 2.4 kernels? I've heard rumors that Digeo backported a 2.6 I/O scheduler. However, when I tried to download their open source modifications from http://www.digeo.com/prodserv/opensource.jsp, I wasn't able to extract their work. (The zip file unzips to a tar.bz2, which seems to be corrupt.) Who knows, maybe an I/O scheduler backport isn't in that archive anyway. Please CC me on any response. Thanks, Josh
