Hi Everyone, I''m experimenting with ionice, and I have to say at first impressions I''m very impressed! Does anyone have any idea how I could script the ionice config? I''m using phy for my DomUs so everything appears in ps as blkback.<DOMID>.xvda1 The problem is, is that the process id for the blkback process will change after every DomU restart, doesn''t it? Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

My current train of thought is to write a script that runs "xm list $domname", then parses for the dom ID. Then does a "ps aux | grep "$domid.xvda" " and parses for the PID. Then runs ionice with the found PID as a param. Is there a nice place that I can call this script from within Xen at each DomU boot? It would be nice to not have to make a wrapper script which first runs "xm create" and then does the above. Since I wish to run lots of DomUs for customers, this becomes a management issue. Really what I need to find, is a place similar to the vif scripts, but ones that run after the DomU has started (as the correct disk process needs to be running) Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
