A stand-alone MinIO server would go down if the server hosting the drives goes offline. In contrast, a distributed MinIO setup with _m_ servers and _n_ drives will have your data safe as long as _m/2_ servers or _m*n_/2 or more drives are online.

For example, an 16-server distributed setup with 200 drives per node would continue serving files, up to 4 servers can be offline in default configuration i.e around 800 drives down MinIO would continue to read and write objects.

	driveUsedInodesMD = NewGaugeMD(driveUsedInodes,
		"Total used inodes on a drive", allDriveLabels...)
	driveFreeInodesMD = NewGaugeMD(driveFreeInodes,
		"Total free inodes on a drive", allDriveLabels...)
	driveTotalInodesMD = NewGaugeMD(driveTotalInodes,
		"Total inodes available on a drive", allDriveLabels...)
	driveTimeoutErrorsMD = NewCounterMD(driveTimeoutErrorsTotal,

## Toy Setups

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