I have a pool with 8 drives. I frequently am unzipping large archives or converting .RAR files to actual folders/files. When I do this, frequently the output is being written back to the same disk, or just a single disk leaving the other 7 disks idle. Is there a way to ensure that more than one disk is involved to speed things up? I considered using a placement rule for .zip and .r0xx files, but that just puts those files on one drive but doesn't assure that the outputs will end up on a different disk.
