If the basic cgroup setup is not enough, you can also give cgroups guaranteed throughput. Please look here: http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/06/manage-your-performance-with-cgroups-and-projects.html Don't forget that you need to use the CFQ scheduler and enable "CFQ Group Scheduling support" as well. The latter option only appears when you enable cgroup support. So don't forget to double check that option. I think with 2.6.37, you can also set maximums. That might also be useful. Just limit your I/O intensive batch jobs to something like disk throughput minus 3 MB/s. Disclaimer: I have no experience with any of these approaches. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp
