-=== single queue schedulers === 
-There are 2 queues, one for read & one for write operations. 
-  * **none** is just a First In First Out standard queue of I/O operations. 
-  * **cfq** (Completely Fair Scheduling) is similar to the Round Robin algorithm and basically allots a fixed execution time for each I/O operation (they are implemented as a circular queue) 
-  * **deadline** is like a priority queue with an aging concept. Basically it adds a deadline for each I/O operation & implements a priority queue 
- 
-=== block multi-queue schedulers === 
-Supported in kernel >=4.12. It is disabled by default. 
-To use multi-queue schedulers compile kernel with **CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT=y** or pass parameter **scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1** in boot loader.

 +NOTE: It ignores disk in standby to do not spin up HDDs, but it ignores 336 checks (x 1800s interval = 7 days), then it will spin up disc. To put disc sleep again it is good to use ''hd-idle'' daemon.
