Sorry, people for disturbing again.
But everyday findutils or better put updatedb blocks my harddrive for

Why can I set ionice options for my rsnapshot scripts and wit works well

Anything that we can do to prevent this in the coming release?

The findutils package in gutsy, and the debdiff from 2007-10-01, was
faulty - instead of changing ionice on the updatedb process, it changes
it for process id 7 (and generates cron mail if there is no process 7).

Hello,
is this problem solved on your Gutsy machines?
I still have the problem that updatedb blocks the machine totally for
some minutes.
Thanks for your efforts!

yop, please note that {$NICE:-10} (which I've used in most places in my
patches) is actually a typo/wrong!
${NICE:-10} is correct (and Kees has fixed it already).
"echo ${FOO:-10}" results in 10, if $FOO is not set, if you want to get
"-10" as default, you would actually have to use ${FOO:--10}.
@dAniel hAhler
Question: If running at nice -10 it will have a high priority yes? and running
at nice 10 will make it have a low prio
And in your diff you have
nice -n {$NICE:-10}
Is it not better to set it to
nice -n {$NICE:+10}
to make it run as low prio?

* Make use of ionice in cron.daily, if available (LP: #134692)
* debian/updatedb.conf: added IONICE_CLASS/IONICE_PRIORITY,
defaulting to IONICE_CLASS=2, IONICE_PRIORITY=7 (best effort)
* debian/find-crond.daily: use ionice

slocate (3.1-1ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low
* debian/cron.daily: Use ionice. It looks for settings from
/etc/updatedb.conf and uses "best effort" class by default.
Quite the same for "nice", defaulting to "10".

to ever disable it?)

Thanks for your comments, Kees.
Now while updating the patches, I wonder if we should support IONICE_CLASS=0 to
disable usage of ionice?
Or should it get used always?

I think the patches can be cleaned up a bit for fewer changes:
- ionice is in util-linux (so no need for schedutils)
- util-linux is Essential (no need to test for ionice existing)

I added the following patch to my slocate on my edgy system.
I also used class 2 and priority 7.
It has made my system much better behaved, so much so
that I no longer notice what slocate is started 15mins or so after I
boot up (it doesn't run 24/7)

I've updated the patch for findutils, making IONICE_CLASS=2 (and

The same method should get applied to "slocate", which e.g. gets installed by
kubuntu-desktop (and which replaces the "find" cronjob of findutils).
I will provide a debdiff for it, when the one for findutils gets accepted.

/etc/cron.daily/slocate like follows:

IONICE_PRIORITY=7 #0 (high)-7 (low)
NICE_PRIORITY=19#10 (default) - 19 (low)

then
if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf ]
then
