Subject:   Possible to prioritize IO requests based on the requesting process?

If I am watching a Netflix movie, I wouldn't want some batch file 
download to interrupt me, because, obviously, the response from an 
interactive process is expected with higher urgency, compared to a batch 
result.


Assuming that disk/network IO is a bottleneck, is there a way to 
prioritize them based on pid?
