Hi,
Fabio Checconi and myself have developed a GEOM-based disk scheduler
for FreeBSD. The scheduler is made of a GEOM kernel module, the
corresponding userland claas library, and other loadable kernel
modules that implement the actual scheduling algorithm.

At the URL below you can find a tarball with full sources and
also a set of pre-built modules/libraries for RELENG_7, to ease testing.

http://feanor.sssup.it/~fabio/freebsd/io_sched/fc_sched.tar.gz

Below you can find the README file that comes with the distribution.

I would encourage people to try it and submit feedback, because the
initial results are extremely interesting. While I just tried the
code under RELENG_7/i386, it should build and work on all versions
that have GEOM (but read below).

Hi Luigi!
Is this changeset already available in CURRENT?

Not (yet).
