Example: Limit a MinIO cluster to accept at max 1600 simultaneous S3 API requests across all nodes of the cluster.

```sh
export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_MAX=1600
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=your-access-key
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=your-secret-key
minio server http://server{1...8}/mnt/hdd{1...16}
```

or

```sh

		ep := disksInfo[i].Endpoint
		if disksInfo[i].RootDisk {
			offlineDisks[ep]++
			onlineDisks[ep]--
		}
	}

	return onlineDisks, offlineDisks
}

// getDisksInfo - fetch disks info across all other storage API.
func getDisksInfo(disks []StorageAPI, endpoints []Endpoint, metrics bool) (disksInfo []madmin.Disk) {
	disksInfo = make([]madmin.Disk, len(disks))

	g := errgroup.WithNErrs(len(disks))

var errVolumeNotEmpty = StorageErr("volume is not empty")

// errVolumeAccessDenied - cannot access volume, insufficient permissions.
var errVolumeAccessDenied = StorageErr("volume access denied")

// errFileAccessDenied - cannot access file, insufficient permissions.
var errFileAccessDenied = StorageErr("file access denied")

// errFileCorrupt - file has an unexpected size, or is not readable

	// lists all unique buckets across drives.
	if err := listAllBuckets(ctx, localDrives, healBuckets, quorum); err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	// include deleted buckets in listBuckets output
	deletedBuckets := xsync.NewMapOf[string, VolInfo]()

	if opts.Deleted {
		// lists all deleted buckets across drives.

MinIO in distributed mode lets you pool multiple drives (even on different machines) into a single object storage server. As drives are distributed across several nodes, distributed MinIO can withstand multiple node failures and yet ensure full data protection.

## Why distributed MinIO?

			res.After.Drives = append(res.After.Drives, healBucketResults[i].After.Drives...)
		}
	}

	return res, nil
}

// ListBuckets lists buckets across all nodes and returns a consistent view:
//   - Return an error when a pool cannot return N/2+1 valid bucket information
//   - For each pool, check if the bucket exists in N/2+1 nodes before including it in the final result
