Go back to my JBOD example where the incoming queue is split between threads handling different disks. If Disk 1 is write-heavy and backing up, there is no reasons to stop handling reads for Disk 2. As requests have to be read in order, if you want to handle any requests for disk 2 when disk 1 is backed up, you have to queue them. -- Alex Bligh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
