[Bug 138249] Re: trackerd should be run with ionice -c 3
Well, just FWI. In Intrepid this will no longer be an issue, since IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE does no longer need CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.

tracker already attempts ionice -c 3 and falls back to lower levels if that returns an error -- trackerd should be run with ionice -c 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 138249] Re: trackerd should be run with ionice -c 3
According to the ioprio_set manpage, a process needs the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability to select the IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE scheduling class. Quote: Attempts to set very high priorities (IOPRIO_CLASS_RT) or very low ones (IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE) require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. I don't understand why a process should need admin privileges to lower its resource requirements, but it seems to be the case.

yeah I cant get it to work without root which is a shame as it would help a lot unless this requirement is relaxed in the kernel we wont (nor will anything else) be able to take advantage of it its basic paranoia to force admin rights to prevent a hypothetical denial of service -- trackerd should be run with ionice -c 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 138249] Re: trackerd should be run with ionice -c 3
So, the thing is that a user is allowed to kill -KILL it's own processes, but it is not allowed to lower their disk access priority. This doesn't make much sense to me... Anyway, it looks like it is really up to the kernel folks to fix it :(. -- trackerd should be run with ionice -c 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

0.6.2 now uses ionice's idle class if available - can you confirm which version you are using?
