Hi, I am using a shell script to perform backup. Whenever it is launched, the system load average reaches 3-5 regularly. I am already launching it script using "nice -n 19". The script is using find, cpio and gzip. They should automatically inherit the nice value of 19. I am already using "gzip -1" so that it uses the least CPU. It is possible that the bottleneck is I/O, not CPU.
Is there any way to reduce the system load?
