Precedence Backup PROe - Backup Slowing down system on Linux Print

The Backup Software some times can slow down a system by producing to much IO. A way to get around this is by using the ionice.

To Apply to a running system

1. Find the PID of java
1. ps -C java -o pid=
2. Change the ionice to class to idle
1. ionice -c 3 -p (PID number from above)

To Apply next time crashplan starts

Edit - /usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine

Make the following changes to the first function: (add "ionice -c 3 -p `cat $PIDFILE`")

{media id=1 size="Full Size" link=true use_caption=false}

Or you can copy the follow text:

        if [[ $! -gt 0 ]]; then
                echo $! > $PIDFILE
                ionice -c 3 -p `cat $PIDFILE`
                echo "OK"
        else
                echo "FAIL"
                exit 1
        fi
