Comment 1 JP Rosevear 2005-11-18 13:55:54 UTC

Unfortunately the user settable I/O priority for processes went away, message should be harmless

Comment 2 Joe Shaw 2005-11-22 15:55:30 UTC

Policy was added to the kernel which prevents normal users from setting this due to priority inversion problems.
