Hi All
Is there any chance someone could clarify MPX for me.
If you have MPX set to 4 for example and there are 4 streams hitting the
drive. All 4 streams are writing in parallel as the tape spins. And if 3
streams are writing at 15mb/sec and 1 stream is writing at 10mb/sec,
would the slower of the streams be a bottle neck for the other 3. My
lack of the tape technology is most probably to blame, I am thinking of
each stream the way fragments work on a tape , finish 1 start the next ,
please tell me this is not the same on each stream.
My thinking is that
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
S1 15mb
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
S2 15mb
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
S3 15mb
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
S4 10mb
- - - - - - - - - - - -
S4 will hold up the others ?
Thanks
Dave
