Valid point, how about something similar to the locatedb update script:
[CODE] nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 $PACKER ..... [/CODE]
that should limit the impact of the PACKER on the system, no matter of xz or pixz are used.
That results in this task filling up all the remaining cpu power left by the primary tasks. Ie, the computer get used 100%.
So what? logrotate has to take the same bullet. Modern processors go up to their TDP anyway, whether single or multiple cores are used, whether gzip or xz format is used, so pixz may just as well be used. (Though xz format tries harder than gzip.) This sounds like a good candidate for update-alternatives, by the way (mv xz original-xz; and making xz an u-a link). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
