Broken link to "An Introduction to Linux Block I/O"

Browser Name:

Operating System:

MacOS

How to reproduce the issue:

On this page, there is a link to "http://researcher.ibm.com/researcher/files/il-AVISHAY/01-block_io-v1.3.pdf". However, this link is not working anymore. You can still find it on the webarchive, but I couldn't find the actual location for this content (if there is any).

Thanks. I wasn't able to find a live version either. I guess the question is do we remove the link, or do we link to the wayback machine. It's being referenced in the context of an example so I'm leaning towards removing it - but welcome to other thoughts

An alternative is to reference the IO schedulers documentation from Ubuntu Wiki if we want to keep the example.

Hi, I want to contrubute in this issue. Should i update it with new link as given by @andresakata, or remove it.

[andresakata]

I'm in favor of removing the example. I just read the paragraph again, and the explanation of I/O-intensive tasks and its implications are well covered.
