Find out what scheduler is running


Ive been running the 2.6 kernel for a while (-mm series) and recently, I noticed that my kernel was built with every scheduler enabled.

I want to use the Anticipatory scheduler, as its suppose to be faster/more responsive.

Because I've got all the schedulers enabled, how would I find out which one is actually running?

Im guessing its somewhere in /sys or /proc, but I have no idea where.

Also, would it be safe to disable the non-AS schedulers, or are they enabled for a reason? Its odd, I can't find the setting in "make xconfig", so it must be something that shouldn't be changed often, though im not sure.

Thanks.

Running anticipatory gives 5 files in /sys/block/*/iosched/

Dunno. Isn't choosing one a commandline thing?
