Greetings everyone,
I am seeking guidance regarding the configuration of a snippet to establish the I/O scheduler as “NONE.” on my SSD ( Samsung evo 870 )
[tolga@HP-G1-800:/home/tolga]$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[none] mq-deadline kyber
I would appreciate insight into whether this is feasible on NixOS.
cheers

I do something like this on my Odroid board to control the leds.
systemd.services.setleds = {
script = ''
echo "Setting Odroid LEDs"
echo none > /sys/class/leds/blue\:heartbeat/trigger
cat /sys/class/leds/blue\:heartbeat/trigger
'';
wantedBy = ["multi-user.target"];
};```I’d add a udev rule to set that.
For my zfs devices I am doing something like that
udev.extraRules = lib.optionalString
(builtins.elem "zfs" config.boot.supportedFilesystems) ''
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*[0-9]*|mmcblk[0-9]*p[0-9]*|nvme[0-9]*n[0-9]*p[0-9]*", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="zfs_member", ATTR{../queue/scheduler}="none"
'';
Edit: be aware that the optinalString part is, that I set that just on those systems that are using zfs (I have a multi system flake and setting that in a module that is loaded by ever host)
Alright, between the two options provided, which one is recommended? I’ve successfully implemented the systemd version on my Fedora 39, and it functions as expected. However, I’m a bit unclear on how to replicate the process on NixOS.

Would i be correct to use the following to suit ext4
udev.extraRules = lib.optionalString
(builtins.elem "ext4" config.boot.supportedFilesystems) ''
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*[0-9]*|mmcblk[0-9]*p[0-9]*|nvme[0-9]*n[0-9]*p[0-9]*", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ext4", ATTR{../queue/scheduler}="none"
'';
In case the config is used just be the one host or you want to use it anyways for every config you can ditch the lib.optionalString part and just set the udev rule content.
Be aware that it’s best to do a clean restart your system to verify if the scheduler was set correctly.
Hi and thanks for the reply. Do you mean like this if i use it as a system wide config:
udev.extraRules = builtins.elem "ext4" config.boot.supportedFilesystems ''
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*[0-9]*|mmcblk[0-9]*p[0-9]*|nvme[0-9]*n[0-9]*p[0-9]*", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ext4", ATTR{../queue/scheduler}="none"
'';
Please advise if this is correct: :
I meant just
udev.extraRules = ''
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*[0-9]*|mmcblk[0-9]*p[0-9]*|nvme[0-9]*n[0-9]*p[0-9]*", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ext4", ATTR{../queue/scheduler}="none"
'';
according your system config, you already have figured that out 
builtins.elem "ext4" config.boot.supportedFilesystems is the condition for the lib.optionalString
But what you have on the git repo looks correct for me.
Did that work?
