Not at all.....if the total amount of data provided to the drive isabove the "minimum streaming rate" of the drive, then the drive will runat a constant speed, and the slower client will just have have fewerblocks on the tape than the faster clients. So your data interleaving on the tape, if client A and B are twice asfast as client C, will look like: A-B-A-B-C-A-B-A-B-C-A-B-A-B-C-A-B-A-B-C.... Well, sort of...it won't be as neat as that. The idea of multiplexing is to provide data to the drive fast enough, iecombining datastreams from multiple clients, so that it will not need tostop/rewind.
