Hi,

I have discovered[0] that you can switch io-scheduler at run-time on a
per-block-device basis; no reboot required.

eg:

# cat /sys/block/sda/queue
noop [anticipatory] deadline cfq

# echo "deadline" > /sys/block/sda/queue
# cat /sys/block/sda/queue
noop anticipatory [deadline] cfq

Cheers,
David
