Specify a disk to always read from

[KiLLeRRaT]

Hi,

 

I have a drive pool with a local, and a cloud drive in it.  I have duplication set to 2x, so it's basically a mirrored setup.

 

Is there a way I can set it so that ALL reading will be done off the local disk? I want to do this, because reading off of the cloud drive, while I have all the data locally doesn't make sense, and even though it's striping, it's still slower than just reading it all off the local disk...

 

Any thoughts about this?

 

Thanks

I would strongly like to see this option as well!

In theory, the Read Striping feature should handle that.   It handles switching disks based on the BUS speed and the like.

However, I've created an issue for this, so we can check/verify/optimize this behavior.
