Generally speaking...Yes <snip> IOW, the response time is more likely to increase than to decrease, and increased response time is a Bad Thing </snip>
PAV, Cache, and RAID all have impacts that mitigate the 1:3 (or worse) actuator to data ratio on mod 9 vs. 3 mod 3. These impacts may not be part of the intended design. As with most things, YMMV. Few large datasets are less impacted than many small datasets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
