Hi Ben, Yes -- I would prefer to let the OS handle his, especially if it can save me some coding. Is there is a way (under linux) to limit a certain process's disk utilization? It seems like nice(1) just modifies the scheduling priority, I'm assuming this means CPU scheduling. In my case, I'm trying to prevent a cron task that updates the lucene search index from consuming the disk, causing the search to slow down.
