SoC2009: Geom-based Disk Schedulers

[Fabio Checconi]

Hi all,
  I'm a PhD student, this summer I'll work on a SoC project on disk
scheduling.  I will extend the work we started with luigi, that we already
presented in [1, 2].  Two of the main areas that still need improvement,
and that will be considered during the project, are doing proper request
classification and performance tuning for the specific scheduling
algorithms.

More info available on the wiki page of the project:
