[Bug 67811] Re: Takes all CPU time

[Christopher K.]

I now also added ionice to avoid a lot if io-load on the server being backed up.
My RsyncClientCmd now looks like this:

$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2
-n7 /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+

-c2 is the "best effort" class and -n7 is the lowest priority in this
class. If you want even less io-load, use the "idle"-class (-c3, without
-n). Note that this might make cause the backup to take much longer (or
even never complete).

Note that you need at least a linux kernel 2.6.13 for ionice as far as I
know.
