11 This implies that you only compiled in noop and deadline support. I
12 can confidently state that, unless your explictly specified a
13 preference as kernel argument, you are using deadline because the
14 order of preference is as follows:
15
16 AS, DEADLINE, CFQ, NOOP
17
18 See drivers/block/elevator.c for the proof. Also you can simply query
19 this information via sysfs from a particular block device.
