Talk about making the same mistake twice :) I apologize to the list! Anyway back on topic: I did some stracing but didn't notice anything suspicious going on. It just seems that when things are nice'd up and pipes are involved something terrible happens. I can reproduce this with any of the following combinations i tried: cat | nice --1 dd mkisofs | nice --1 dd mkisofs | cdrecord mkiosfs | cdrdao Just FYI cdrecord and cdrdao already set a very high priority internally. thomas -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
