New config option: Greyhole daemon niceness about greyhole HOT 3 CLOSED

The process niceness is set to 1 on purpose.
(See https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/blob/master/initd_script.sh#L57)
This was done so the Greyhole process wouldn't prevent other services from working optimally.
If you care more about how fast the Greyhole process work, then you can indeed lower the process niceness to improve it's performance.

But, your LZ should be on your biggest pooled drive(s), so you won't have a problem with your LZ filling up.
For example, if you biggest pooled drive is a 2TB drive, create a 'shares' folder in it's root (next to the 'gh' folder), and put your shares in there, so that new files are added there by Samba.
You should also increase the min_free value for that pooled drive, in greyhole.conf, to ensure this drive always has enough space for new files.

I'll leave this issue open, to remember to make the process niceness a greyhole.conf option.

To note: now that cp is used instead of rsync (since 0.9.15), Greyhole has become much less CPU intensive during file transfers.
