I'm ok with re-enabling locate,
Thanks. I missed having it again a few days ago.
weekly load graph to know more precisely when it's better to run it.
Is there an easy gnuplot option for this?
I don't know. I'm almost never tried to make graphs from scratch.
To me it doesn't seem
Hi
For the record, I'm ok with re-enabling locate, but I'd like to see a
weekly load graph to know more precisely when it's better to run it.
Is there an easy gnuplot option for this?

'info nice' says that's an advisory to the scheduler, apparently

I don't think so, I believe 'nice' helps with the CPU load but not
with disk I/O :/
I thought the theory is that something nice -19'd will run only when
