Re: nice really nice?



>>ooops sorry. i sent if from the wrong folder.
>It's OK.

Talk about making the same mistake twice :) I apologize to the list!
Anyway back on topic:

I did some stracing but didn't notice anything suspicious going on. It
just seems that when things are nice'd up and pipes are involved
something terrible happens.

I can reproduce this with any of the following combinations i tried:

cat | nice --1 dd
mkisofs | nice --1 dd
mkisofs | cdrecord
mkiosfs | cdrdao

Just FYI cdrecord and cdrdao already set a very high priority internally.
