Use ionice to set IO priority #47

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I just learned today about 'ionice', which sets I/O priority just like
'nice' sets CPU priority.  Attached is a patch which makes tovid use this
program as well as 'nice' to set the I/O priority based on the '-priority'
argument.

ionice seems Linux-specific, no?

Anyway, on my Debian machine, ionice is not always installed (it is in the 
optional
package schedutils, so you should at least test its presence.
