Package: util-linux Version: 2.19.1-4 Severity: normal
when running ionice -c3 on a kernel rebuild, an mplayer process accessing the same disk spindle for a movie file gets its input starved by the kernel build process having priority for disk writes. I would like ionice -c3 on a disk i/o intensive process such as a kernel rebuild to mean that another process run normally (e.g. mplayer) does not get starved for i/o, even if the ionice'd process has pending disk writes. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-rc7-git7 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.40 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.16.0.3 Debian package management system ii initscripts 2.88dsf-13.11 scripts for initializing and shutt ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libblkid1 2.19.1-4 block device id library ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.9-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 2.0.98-1.1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libslang2 2.2.4-2 S-Lang programming library - runti ii libuuid1 2.19.1-4 Universally Unique ID library ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii tzdata 2011h-3 time zone and daylight-saving time ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime util-linux recommends no packages.
