Yes, I use ionice. But it is not very usefull, only root can use it. For instance, I have to copy large files, and I'm not really interested in doing it fast, rather to be able to keep working on something else at the same time. So, I fire the copy, find out the pid, then as root I re-io-nice it. That should not require root priviledges. ....
The top, R key for renice user process should do the same from user console.
No, that changes the "niceness" of a process cpu usage, but ionice changes it's io, ie, input/output needs, ie, disk usage. It's different. Also, you can "nice" a process you own without being root, but not un-nice (ie, give higher priority). For ionice, you can do nothing. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
