[Ocfs2-users] preferred i/o scheduler?

We are sharing ocfs2 volumes to Xen domU processes on our SAN. From a
stability standpoint on SLES10 (not SP1 yet) and OpenSuSE 10.2, should
we keep our i/o scheduler as Deadline, or switch to CFQ? I was under
the impression that CFQ was fixed and switched back to it, but I
experienced a self-fence panic this morning that leads me to question
how fixed it truly is.

We're back to using Deadline for now, but I need to know if I should
be investigating other causes instead.
