- ObjectType (default)
- LegacyObjectType (preserves existing deployments and older xl.json format)
- DeleteMarker (a versionId to capture the DELETE sequences implemented primarily for AWS spec compatibility)

A sample msgpack-JSON `xl.meta`, you can debug the content inside `xl.meta` using [xl-meta.go](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/debugging#decoding-metadata) program.

```json
{
  "Versions": [
    {
      "Type": 1,

- In this algorithm, we also make sure that we spread the drives out evenly. MinIO server expands ellipses passed as arguments. Here is a sample expansion to demonstrate the process.

```
minio server http://host{1...2}/export{1...8}
```

Expected expansion

```
> http://host1/export1
> http://host2/export1
> http://host1/export2
