- Each pool expects each host in this pool has the same number of drives specified as any other host.
- Mixing `local-path` and `distributed-path` is not allowed, doing so would cause MinIO to refuse starting the server.
- Ellipses notation (e.g. `{1...10}`) or bracket notations are fully allowed (e.g. `{a,c,f}`) to have multiple entries in one line.

- Erasure coding used by MinIO is [Reed-Solomon](https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon) erasure coding scheme, which has a total shard maximum of 256 i.e 128 data and 128 parity. MinIO design goes beyond this limitation by doing some practical architecture choices.

synced.This is an unavoidable side-effect in active-active replication caused by allowing delete markers set on a object version with `REPLICA` status back to source.

In the case of versioned deletes a.k.a permanent delete of a version by doing a `mc rm --version-id` on a object, replication implementation marks a object version permanently deleted as `PENDING` purge and deletes the version from source after syncing to the target and ensuring target version is deleted. The delete marker being...

version `RELEASE.2021-09-02T09-21-27Z` or older supports only a single remote target per bucket. To take advantage of multiple destination replication, use the latest version of `mc`

Status of delete marker replication can be viewed by doing a GET/HEAD on the object version - it will return a `X-Minio-Replication-DeleteMarker-Status` header and http response code of `405`. In the case of permanent deletes, if the delete replication is pending or failed to propagate to the target cluster,...
