### Additional notes

Tiering and lifecycle transition are applicable only to erasure/distributed MinIO.

of `REPLICA`. The status of DeleteMarker replication is returned by `X-Minio-Replication-DeleteMarker-Status` header on `HEAD/GET` calls for the delete marker version in question - i.e with `mc stat --version-id dm-version-id`

It must be noted that if active-active replication is set up with delete marker replication, there is potential for duplicate delete markers to be created if both source and target concurrently set a Delete Marker or if one/both of the clusters went down at tandem...

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, one of the nodes would participate more drives. To avoid this the affinity is given towards...
