The level option could be appended for the classes that accept a level, e.g. --ionice 3 (i.e. class 3/idle) --ionice 2,0 (i.e. class 2, level 0) (Two separate options could also be considered ...) i> Also give an example > of where you cannot just simply put ionice in the command. > > I take it that the primary use case is for remote servers - just like > it is for --nice. Yes. I read the documentation for parallel's --nice option and thought that such a robust way (across servers etc.) would be very useful for ionice, too. Ciao Sven
