Package: util-linux
Version: 2.13.1.1-1
Severity: minor
It seems that the manpage for ionice isn't terribly specific about the
meaning of the argument to the "-n" switch. "class data" isn't very
communicative. Perhaps it should be made clear that this is the i/o
"priority" within the given scheduling class with woring similar to the
regular "nice" man page. (e.g. for best effort, "Priority ranges from 0
(most favorable schduling) to 7 (least favourable).").

Hello!
The ionice manpage has been improved in similar (but not same) way as
suggested, so I'm calling this fixed upstream.
