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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67811 Title: Takes all CPU time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/67811/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
