Description ChaosEngine 2013-05-11 19:05:19 UTC

Clamd.initd is currently using nice starting parameter for controlling CPU nice level. Additionally I added ionice disk priority class into clamd.conf and clamd.initd-r3. This might help lowering scan impact on overal system performance (set ionice class to idle)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.change /etc/conf.d/clamd to include IONICE_CLASS
2. restart clamd
3.
Actual Results:  
changing ionice disk priority class


man ionice, man start-stop-daemon
