connection I copy files into one share, on the other connection I read files from a different share. Everything goes fine until the share I'm reading from hits a file that has to be retreived from tape. It takes a long time to read this (which is fine) BUT at the same time the process writing to the OTHER share that has nothing to do with this connection slows down dramatically as well. Any ideas why this happens and what I can do to fix it.
