Buckets can be configured to have `Hard` quota - it disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.

## Prerequisites

- Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#procedure).

The command creates a new local directory `~/minio/data` in your user home directory. It then starts the MinIO container with the `-v` argument to map the local path (`~/minio/data`) to the specified virtual container directory (`/data`). When MinIO writes data to `/data`, that data is actually written to the local path `~/minio/data` where it can persist between container restarts.

### Windows

```sh
docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio1 \

protection bits added automatically to provide the regular safety for these objects up to 50% of the number of drives.
This will allow normal write operations to take place on systems that exceed the write tolerance.

## Features

- A pool in decommission still allows READ access to all its contents, newer WRITEs will automatically be scheduled to only pools not in decommission status.
- All versioned buckets maintain the same order for "versions" for each object after being decommissioned to the other pools.
