Hi Alex, during replication the slave is still available and serving requests but as you can imagine the responses will be slower because of disk usage, even with 15k rpm disks.
We have one master and two slaves. Master only for indexing, slaves for searching. Only one slave is online the other is for backup. The backup gets replicated first. After that the servers will be switched and the online becomes backup.
