When I format a large target, I notice that mpiformatdb writes all of the volumes at once, and writes the index files at the very end.

I'm continuing to wrestle with some SAN / filesystem problems, and concurrent writes seems to be the weak point. I'm wondering if there's a way to write one volume at a time.

Here's my mpiformatdb command:

/common/bin/mpiformatdb --skip-reorder --config-file=/common/etc/ mpiblast.conf --nfrags=16 --quiet -p F -i /common/data/nt -o T &

Thanks.
