From 5538c63e450227c4e0b955f91e1344fe7371ad6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zac Medico Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2008 04:20:04 +0000 Subject: Reduce the default PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND priority to "idle" priority since it's probably suitable for most people. This way, even when the IO load is very high, the impact on system responsiveness should be practically unnoticeable. svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=11193 --- cnf/make.globals | 2 +- man/make.conf.5 | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/cnf/make.globals b/cnf/make.globals index 0b29536fe..f63fae280 100644 --- a/cnf/make.globals +++ b/cnf/make.globals @@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ PORTAGE_FETCH_CHECKSUM_TRY_MIRRORS="5" PORTAGE_FETCH_RESUME_MIN_SIZE="350K" # Command called to adjust the io priority of portage and it's subprocesses. -PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 2 -n 7 -p \${PID}" +PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 3 -p \${PID}" # Number of times 'emerge --sync' will run before giving up.
