Hi

Which scheduler is recommended for a box that is dedicated to running 
postgres?

I've asked google and found no answers.

Is it the OS itself?

Yes, in linux.  I've found that cfq or deadline is best, but I haven't 
seen anyone try a benchmark

it also depends on your hardware. if you have a good battery-backed cache 
on your I/O system you may be best off with 'none' (or simple elevator, I 
don't remember the exact name)

the more complexity in your I/O that the kernek oesn't know about, the 
less likely it is to make the right decision.

Deadline works best for us.  The new AS is getting better, but last we
tried there were issues with it.
