Not sure if this will help for ntfs, but I changed my mlocate cronjob to
launch updatedb.mlocate with an "idle" io priority. So the last lines of
/etc/cron.daily.mlocate look like:
##
# See ionice(1)
if [ -x /usr/bin/ionice ] &&
/usr/bin/ionice -c3 true 2>/dev/null; then
IONICE="/usr/bin/ionice -c3"
fi
$IONICE /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate
This should probably be accompanied by a nice 19, to also reduce actual
userspace CPU stress.
