Public bug reported: In /etc/cron.daily/find is ionice used when starting updatedb. The is ... ionice -c ${IONICE_CLASS:-2} -p ${IONICE_PRIORITY:-7} updatedb ... So the option -p is used to set the priority. But ionice uses -p to set a specific process ID and to set the priority the -n parameter must be used. On some installation (I cannot tell what the difference is), this produces an error. On others the -p seems to be ignored. This seems to be introduced by Bug #134692.
