9	  The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging
10	  and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like
11	  memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments
12	  that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from
13	  the kernel.

18	---help---
19	  The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It will provide
20	  CSCAN service with FIFO expiration of requests, switching to
21	  a new point in the service tree and doing a batch of IO from there
22	  in case of expiry.

28	---help---
29	  The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally
30	  among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair
31	  and low latency working environment, suitable for both desktop
32	  and server systems.
33
34	  This is the default I/O scheduler.
