Package: util-linux
Version: 2.19.1-4
Severity: normal


when running ionice -c3 on a kernel rebuild, an mplayer process accessing the
same disk spindle for a movie file gets its input starved by the kernel build
process having priority for disk writes.

I would like ionice -c3 on a disk i/o intensive process such as a kernel rebuild
to mean that another process run normally (e.g. mplayer) does not get starved
for i/o, even if the ionice'd process has pending disk writes.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
