vzdump with scheduling class

[hamed]

Hi,
I've read in vzdump manual that it accepts ionice parameter. but I would like to run vzdump with idle io priority.

since I'm going to use it in an automated backup system, so I it's hard to run ionice command after running vzdump to renice it.
is there anyway to provide vzdump with io priority class?

Thanks

I just uploaded a new version to the test repository:

# wget ftp://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/lenny/pvetest/binary-amd64/vzdump_1.2-12_all.deb
# dpkg -i vzdump_1.2-12_all.deb

You can now use priority '8', which translates to 'idle' scheduling class.

Does that work for you?
