           Summary: Man page for ionice and program differs
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: rwalter@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: robin.listas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: ke@xxxxxxxxxx


The man page for ionice says:

| Idle.  A program running with idle io priority will only get disk time when 
| no  other  program has  asked  for  disk io for a defined grace period. The
| impact of idle io processes on normal system activity should be zero. This
| scheduling class does not take a priority argument.

However, the program does report a priority argument, although it is always 7
(class 3 below), and it does accept (but ignores) the argument:

nimrodel:~ # ionice -c2 -n6 -p 29971 && ionice -p 29971
best-effort: prio 6
nimrodel:~ # ionice -c1 -n6 -p 29971 && ionice -p 29971
realtime: prio 6
nimrodel:~ # ionice -c3 -n6 -p 29971 && ionice -p 29971
idle: prio 7
