We are in the middle of doing a POC and converting our 10tb Oracle AIX based DB to Red Hat Linux using Database Replay. When we replayed using the deadline scheduler it dropped our replay from 36 hours to 34. Not a huge gain but it definitely helped.

Same here under a similar scenario - about 10% improvement on a load of 1 terabyte worth of data.

Jon,
Played with scheduler a while ago on a storage benchmark, (don't have the exact numbers handy) You will not see any noticeable difference during normal workload. But with overloaded (or fully loaded) systems, deadline scheduler works better than CFQ. The difference was in the range of 5-8% IIRC.

I am wondering if any performance differences are to be found in using CFQ vs. Deadline vs other options, especially in a large RAC / SAN environment. Right now we are using CFQ, and in my previous experiments on filesystems I did not get any noticeable difference in changing to deadline.
