+To choose IO schedulers at boot time, use the argument 'elevator=deadline'.
+'noop', 'as' and 'cfq' (the default) are also available. IO schedulers are
+assigned globally at boot time only presently.

+Each io queue has a set of io scheduler tunables associated with it. These
+tunables control how the io scheduler works. You can find these entries

 As of the Linux 2.6.10 kernel, it is now possible to change the
 IO scheduler for a given block device on the fly (thus making it possible,
 for instance, to set the CFQ scheduler for the system default, but
