Description:
Starting from kernel 2.6.37, it seems to be possible to limit read and write speeds versus a block device to specific values for specific processes. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y is needed in kernel config. Seems harmless, why don't enable it by default? Additional info: * package version(s) kernel26, starting from 2.6.37-1 Reference: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_37#head-ea090ef154c04173c74a64ccb0312539b7e74bd2 http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt Steps to reproduce: #> zcat /proc/config.gz|grep THROTTLING # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING is not set |
