As of the Linux 2.6.10 kernel, it is now possible to change the
IO scheduler for a given block device on the fly (thus making it possible,
for instance, to set the CFQ scheduler for the system default, but
set a specific device to use the anticipatory or noop schedulers - which

can improve that device's throughput).
To set a specific scheduler, simply do this:

To quote Linux Weekly News:
There are a number of red-black trees in use in the kernel.
The anticipatory, deadline, and CFQ I/O schedulers all employ
rbtrees to track requests; the packet CD/DVD driver does the same.

The high-resolution timer code uses an rbtree to organize outstanding
