diskdelay - show and configuration disk delay parameters
diskdelay
<i>read-write-delay
</i>
diskdelay
<i>read-delay
</i>/
<i>write-delay
</i>
The diskdelay command provides the user with a single
point of control over all the disks, either to specify a default
delay value in the rc-file, or to change the value dynamically.
The parameter to diskdelay is in micro-seconds (of simulated
time), so for example
"diskdelay 8000" will simulate a disk with
an average service time of
8 milli-seconds.
Individual disks can be configured with individual diskdelays,
but which value takes precedence is currently a matter of the
coding style of each disk simulator.
Without arguments, diskdelay displays the current disk delay settings.
In the form, diskdelay
<i>read-write-delay
</i>, both the
read and write disk delay are set to
<i>read-write-delay
</i>.
In the form, diskdelay
<i>read-delay
</i>/
<i>write-delay
</i>, both the
read and write disk delay are set to
<i>read-delay
</i> and
<i>write-delay
</i>, respectively.
