Is this a new feature request?
Wanted change
I would like to be able to set a custom (in my case, lower) IO priority for the transmission process.
Reason for change
Serving torrent files can be quite an IO demanding task, specially on mechanical drives as due to the fragmented nature of torrents, seeking is very likely to occur in large amounts. This can make transmission a quite disruptive workload to run next to others.
Setting a lower IO priority (higher IO niceness value) can potentially help with this.
Proposed code change
We could allow users to define
IONICE_CLASS
andIONICE_LEVEL
environment variables, which could be used as arguments toionice
's-c
and-n
in the/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-transmission/run
script. Alternatively, aoneshot
service could also be used toionice
the transmission PID after it has started.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
