with 4 drives we get a total of 256 possible sets. So algorithm automatically chooses 64 sets, which is *16* 64 = 1024* drives in total.

- *If total number of nodes are of odd number then GCD algorithm provides affinity towards odd number erasure sets to provide for uniform distribution across nodes*. This is to ensure that same number of drives are pariticipating in any erasure set. For example if you have 2 nodes with 180 drives then GCD is 15 but this would lead to uneven distribution,...
