* [PATCH] Document online io scheduler switchingValdis Kletnieks2006-04-201-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | We added the ability to change a block device's IO elevator scheduler both at kernel boot and on-the-fly, but we only documented the elevator= boot parameter. Add a quick how-to on doing it on the fly. Signed-off-by: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] update max_sectors documentationMike Christie2006-03-271-2/+12
| | | | | | | | The max_sectors has been split into max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for some time. A patch to have blk_queue_max_sectors enforce this was sent by me and it broke IDE. This patch updates the documentation. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] block/stat.txtAndy Isaacson2006-01-081-0/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I couldn't find any docs explaining the contents of /sys/block/<dev>/stat, so I wrote up the following. I'm not completely sure it's accurate - Jens, could you give a yea or nay on this? In particular, the counts of read/write IOs and read/write sectors are incremented in different places - it looks like they both increment as the request is being finished, but I'm not completely sure of that.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
