<div class="moz-cite-prefix">No idea here either, but a thought to
advantage: such a setup *might* work for synching many tiny files
(less than a couple or three sectors each, maybe?), it'd kill the
system if you're dealing with large binaries. From experience in
populating flat-file databases on commodity gear, I would say keep
to as few threads as possible to minimise I/O priority switching
hence head wear. I've killed a RAID in testing running multiple
copy threads into the array using test data of millions(!) of
random and small files (1B<5KB) for the small problem of
excessive heat and vibration.<br>

probably have to use the same on the client.<br>
