RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dwight (Bud) Brown 2016-12-09 14:22:34 UTC
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Performance_Tuning_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Performance_Tuning_Guide-Storage_and_File_Systems-Configuration_tools.html

Section Number and Name: 6.3.2. Setting the default I/O scheduler

Describe the issue: 
"To set the default I/O scheduler, specify the scheduler you want to use by appending the elevator parameter to the kernel command line, either at boot time or by editing the /etc/grub2.conf file. "

Typically not recommended to edit /etc/grub2.conf directly AFAIK.

Suggestions for improvement: 

suggest instead of editing /etc/grub2.conf, edit /etc/grub/default, addend the elevator parameter to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line and then grub2-mkconfig?

Since I believe all the documentation changes made as part of this bug are published, I'm simply closing it as CURRENTRELEASE.

In case it turns out something is missing after all, feel free to reopen it.
