[opensuse-factory] have `zypper up` and such run with nice of 19?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi, on my home machine i usually do: watch -n .1 'renice -n 19 -p `pgrep rpm`' when updating more then 20 packages. and yes i do use btrfs with snapper, so this probably the root cause. still, without renicing, i'd get crappy performance because of the favorite D state. not that helpful. you know what happens on my laptop? right: freeze, while its hot. henceforth i suggest that zypper runs at least rpm with a nice level of 19. - -- Sebastian Kratz @ProhtMeyhet -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVRGNJAAoJEPy7f1qF9ovTrCgP/RnIua2PFqC2L/xz7uofu4L4 E6sQYmNGJV1F49LI0E0qevOgypRYhabmzG7utTX6t13XLvPm4M4jolRmPlXZ+sUP HycXKsoRFu1J1iIwR+iY7nfUI9XLZy/BHjRqOu2mwHweyXMo1JwVCyMrxS7BhETD H9y49W9lQrTJupDH5dRC2lZ5CmDxw+q6KGC4gYzsSIjUfFH/qNk4kVf+XjS4kM2x jYNk7ZiIwUDWjOh1OSKR5Teyd5zjVldguSt0h87vQ5tLCAVyqSYkIlain7qMupO5 xe/ipj5bdHL3DZRTG93crX47slWoBQQggzsSjEf58fBoxYMhmcBNtxR7pcaZH3tW 8YcHsNGhU48vm7KQUfMxhcRrb2tJKLbaFVjpbO2eYF+USIWpdNEwOJVH8RPmJ8wr TC6O1R23TwDvKES+TONYmzftBeCVvawgK4FpUezXHehpcM1Po0S89U5IE29p3QL2 RWO8On9ObiD4se4XiYvLUxXKAPgkJTEIhkUfp6VU/I4HZKymB/vwu30uoyzS5pZo IaQZbgQXntBd6K8jVDz2wSI8LFP5GcZ87fhLQ+swCkQroLA+30TfRUwd3crPPbqm NpCENCc3Rxkcul0EhIpl+KYjdGY3Zip35GByovdbWMf32PJqu4iAvz5Ht4C9QdZV 0NFcgxJCPa5ppVSGIMpr =5itG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I reject that suggestion. If you have something that is IO-bound, should you not, at the _very least_ be setting IO priorities, not nudge process priorities with nicing requests. That's like eating a fish (whole) with a toothpick.
