Care to elaborate on how you implement this?
In myth backend setup, under "General" on the Mythfilldatabase page there is a line for "mythfilldatabase program:" and a line
for "mythfilldatabase arguments:", so there is no place I can alter the command line to include ionice.

I suppose I could replace the mythfilldatabase.sh script with my own that calls mythfilldatabase.sh, but then I would have to
figure out how to make sure my script passes the proper options to the mythfilldatabase.sh script. Risky for one with minimal
script writing experience.
