Well, I should have tried to answer my own question earlier... but  
there is still a problem.

A quick reading of Wikipedia later, I can tell the following.
First, the anticipatory scheduler seems to be the worse choice when  
dealing with raid arrays.
Now, a better choice in my case could be:
- the CFQ scheduler for the array in the dom0;
- and the NOOP scheduler for the VBDs in the domUs (seems already  
there by default btw)

However even with CFQ/NOOP I keep getting soft resets, only the  
sata_nv SATA ports, when under load. Any thoughs ?


Thanks to all who did not flame me on this one ...;-)
