=========================================================

Pool_sas is made of 14x 146G 15K SAS Drives in a big stripe.  For this test 
there is no log device or cache.  Connected to it is a RedHat box using iSCSI 
through an Intel X520 10GbE NIC. It runs several large MySQL queries at once- 
each taking minutes to compute.

Pool_test is a stripe of 2TB SATA drives and a terrabyte of files is being 
copied to it for another box during this test.

Here's the pastebin of "iostat -xdn 10" on the Linux box:

One thing suspicious is that we notice a slow down of one pool when the other 
is under load.  How can that be?
