anyone has some successful experience with ionice? I tried it with 'idle' (-c 3) parameter. When I did a quick test (find /), it seemed to work with frequent pauses (I guess waiting for idle). But when I used it on my big tar, it made it worse than without... which seems counter-intuitive.
I have good experience with with "ionice -n 7 ...".
I will try but theoreticaly "best effort" should be more intense than "idle".
From a quick test, it seems to be the case
But I am using ionice to replace nice... maybe I need to use both.
