Unfortunately it seems there isn't currently a way to set a thread's ionice with Rust.

So what is the issue here?

Be-ing commented 2 years ago

The issue is that the kernel has a feature that could be used to give creek's reader thread priority access to the storage device but this is not being taken advantage of currently.

If you buffer enough you may not need it, but yes io nice can be interesting for disk access when you seek maybe.

Though, setting it to RT may not necessarily be a win.
