# Erasure code sizing guide

## Toy Setups

Capacity constrained environments, MinIO will work but not recommended for production.

Refer to the sizing guide with details on the default parity count chosen for different erasure stripe sizes [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/distributed/SIZING.md)

MinIO places new objects in server pools based on proportionate free space, per pool. Following pseudo code demonstrates this behavior.

Refer to sizing guide for more understanding on default values chosen depending on your erasure stripe size [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/distributed/SIZING.md). Parity settings can be changed using [storage classes](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/erasure/storage-class).

## Before filing an issue

If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the [golang-nuts mailing
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts) or [other forums](https://golang.org/help/) first. If
the behavior you are seeing is confirmed as a bug or issue, it can easily be re-raised in the issue tracker.
