For me, ionice does *work*, but it is not always enough to keep things "snappy". If ionice is not enough for you, the "pv" utility works similarly to "dd", but has support for a "speed limit". -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

That page lists 3 "Other tools". 2 of those are packaged for Debian. Pipe Viwer <http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml> is in the pv package <http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pv.html>. mbuffer <http://www.maier- komor.de/mbuffer.html> is in the mbuffer package <http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mbuffer.html>. I recommended pv yesterday. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ |
