Hi
I am going to create a shell-server for a networking-meeting with cd-writer. Usually, this is not a problem, but I would like to know if there are any kernel-patches which can limit the io-bandwidth for a user to the harddisk so that a user which is using the cd-writer has at least x kb/s.
Renicing the cdrecord-process is only a little bit helpful. It is still possible to interrupt a cdrecord which is running with priority -20 with 3 or 4 processes which are running with priority 20. So if some users are starting mkisofs at the same time, then cdrecord will be interrupted.
Or does anybody know a good userspace-solution? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
