makes the physical machine basically useless. And this issue persists
for hours. Today is the second time it has happened on the same machine.

Facing this issue on Ubuntu 16.04 and looks like the best solution right
now is to just uninstall the mlocate package and install the

I had the same issue, and found some information that might be of some

If you have ``ionice`` on your system, it'll use it. But as a lot of
people noticed, this doesn't change anything, which means that
``ionice`` is not working, which is a second issue.
Digging into this last issue,
same here since a long time, and now still on 14.04.3, but it seems
pretty useless posting here, not a single reaction from the developers
since two and a half years ...
