SABnzbd-0.4.5 RC1 - ionice error on OSX

Post by Camelot »

I got the following error after updating to 0.4.5 RC1

Code: Select all

ERROR
ionice binary... NOT found!
I did read in the changes that this has been done to improve something related to the linux build, so this might not be unexpected. Sorry if I just wasted someone's time :)

It just tells you that your system doesn't have ionice installed.
It's optional (just like nice is).

ionice gives par2 and unrar a lower disk priority.

Shouldn't really be classes as an error though, as it is not a required module. A warning would be sufficient.

When you install an ionice for on OSX, SABnzbd will use it.
