[Disksim-users] time scale negative value

[Shahrukh Rohinton Tarapore]

Can anyone tell me what happens if I set the time scale parameter to a 
negative value?  I tried running a trace with disk requests spaced very 
closely together (with respect to time).  When I used positive  values 
for the time scale I would get errors that requests in the trace file 
were out of time order.  Only when I set the time scale parameter 
negative did disksim run through the entire trace without interruption. 

I want to be sure that using a negative value doesn't some how skew my 
results.  Thanks.
