My understanding of things is that it is correct that the number of
simultaneous clients is not depenant on the number of volumes in the disk
pool, but if it is one large volume, the thread essentially gets 'split'
between the clients, sort of like a round robin type of deal.  One thread
jumping between the clients.  If you have multiple volumes (preferably on
separate spindles), it will be a separate parallel thread for each
volume....
