Hi Steffen, Thank for your following up and confirmation that intensive writing can occur with some applications.
Even if this is application related, I think boinc should offer to: - control the application. Ex: max write allowed is x Mb/unit (would be a good solution) and/or - report the application activity. Ex: application wrote today x Mb, avg y Mb/s (not a solution, but allows to detect a problem) Otherwise users have to blindly rely in application willingness to (1) inform if they make high disk IO (2) be bug free (one could imagine a bug leading to heavy IO) I think it is like for ram/cpu usage: user allows his computer to be used, but with some ram/cpu limitation. In a similar way boinc should allow to set some disk IO limitation (especially write IO). That's just my opinion. I am not sure how easy/time consuming it would be to implement this. So feel free to close this bug if you think this is not a priority for other users. Kind regards and thanks again, Franck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
