In theory this option does exist but in practice it is almost impossible to find useful limit values for the traffic shaper that do not make the server useless for other people as long as traffic is not the limiting factor. Note that controlling a complex system is only effective when you controll the limiting factor. The method would actually work if the traffic shaper would actually have control over disk I/O scheduling priority as well but AFAIK there is no such implementation for linux availlable yet.
