If Novell is indeed using 'elevator seeking' then they are at least 6 years behind the technical papers being published on reducing disk access times. The algorithm which seems to be winning (by only a small margin, admittedly) all the 'benchmarks' (yeah, I know….lies, damn lies, statistics, and benchmarks) is a simple 'sweep' algorithm.
