Low priority I/O for background tasks
Registered by
Krzysztof Lichota
CFQ disk scheduler allows assigning priorities for disk I/O separately for each process. This can be used to assign lowest priority to disk intensive background tasks (like updating slocate database, file indexing in Beagle or installing packages in Synaptic) in order to improve responsiveness and desktop experience for user.
