I would still like to see a way to prioritise disc assess. So that I can say process "updatedb" and anything it calls, will get nothing but the leftover cycles. If it's alreay running, and something else comes up, like say, ls -lh, then ls -lh will immediately be given priority.
There is a way, it's called ionice. Have a look at "man ionice" for details
Oh nice! I'll give that a try... Thanks Hans
