I think it's fine. It's running at maximal niceness (ionice -c 3 nice
-n 18) so won't impact our own services. That's a good point about
sharing with other customers, I hadn't considered that. The only data
point I can offer about their policy is I have done this on half a
dozen other linode servers and they've never said a word. :)
