684.0. "write to shadow set, speed?" by ROM01::OLD_CIPOLLA (Bruno Cipolla) Wed Jun 04 1997 03:12

    if i shadow a "fast" disk (writeback cached hsj) with a "slow" disk
    (local kspza, no WB cache) what is the response time on writes?
    the fast one (1msec) or the slow one (10msec+)?
    
    does the same hold true with triple shadowing? (two fast disks and a
    slow one?)

	Writes are queued in parallel, and the i/o completes as soon as all writes have completed. So the slowest device will determine the best speed. Jur.
