Description Vivek Goyal 2011-05-31 18:35:34 UTC

Tracker bug for documenting the I/O throttling feature for the Resource Management Guide.

In 6.1 we introduce the IO throttling capabilities in IO controller. Update resource management guide to reflect that.

One can look at following places for some help on IO controller feature.

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.39/Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt
http://pasta.usersys.redhat.com/rhsummit-2011-videos/presentation/

Once a change draft is ready, I can review it for correctness.

Thanks Vivek! Moving to ON_QA, following changed were applied:

- 3.1. blkio section split into three sections
- Proportional weight division and I/O throttling policies explained
- note about buffered writes added
- 3.1.2. I/O Throttling Configuration Options is completely new

Cheers,
Martin
