Disk I/O scheduling between nodes on OpenVS
Hi all,
While I have been an end user for VPS for a while, I am trying to gain a better understanding about how things work. My question is about how OpenVS (or those who manage OpenVS) schedules and priorities disk I/O between different nodes.
Do higher VPS plans generally get more priority to Disk I/O? Is Disk I/O rather fair between nodes? Would this differ among VPS providers?

I suppose that you mean OpenVZ instead of OpenVS.
Here is an OpenVZ wiki article that explains all you need to know about I/O priority.
http://openvz.org/I/O_priorities_for_containers
Its short form for OpenVZ VPS.
@drserver yes I meant OpenVZ (sorry for the typo). Thanks for sending the link. It seems as thouh the priority for I/O can be configured.
But, in general do vps providers/hosting copanies provide higher I/O priorty to larger plans. That is to say, do 2GB plans get higher disk I/O priortiy over 512KB plans? I know it is a general question, and may not hold for each company... just curiuos how it works.
