Xen users - May 2011 - ionice and blkback

Hi Everyone,

When you want to use ionice to limit the amount of disk a DomU has, due 
to have to run ionice on every blkback process?

Incidently, what is the format of the blkback process? I see the 
following in ps aux:

blkback.xx.xvda
blkback.xx.xvda1
blkback.xx.xvd

where xx appears to be the domain ID. I''m curious as to the last few 
letters mean?

Thanks

You mean "xvda" and such? It should be the name of the device in domU
(see domU''s config file).
