Hi, currently the ionice(1) command does not allow non-root users to start applications with idle I/O priority -c3. It is not documented why this is the case (I can't imagine a security concern using idle systems for I/O). So I'd wish to have this capability as a normal user to allow background indexing, maintenance or searching tasks while the user is working on the system.
