In theory this option does exist but in practice it is almost impossible to
find useful limit values for the traffic shaper that do not make the server
useless for other people as long as traffic is not the limiting factor.
Note that controlling a complex system is only effective when you controll the
limiting factor. The method would actually work if the traffic shaper would
actually have control over disk I/O scheduling priority as well but AFAIK
there is no such implementation for linux availlable yet.
