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.

		"Total used inodes on a drive", allDriveLabels...)
	driveFreeInodesMD = NewGaugeMD(driveFreeInodes,

	driveTotalInodesMD = NewGaugeMD(driveTotalInodes,
		"Total inodes available on a drive", allDriveLabels...)
	driveTimeoutErrorsMD = NewCounterMD(driveTimeoutErrorsTotal,

drives.  Therefore, the number of drives you present must be a multiple of one of these numbers.  Each object is written to a single erasure-coding set.

Minio uses the largest possible EC set size which divides into the number of drives given. For example, *18 drives* are configured as *2 sets of 9 drives*, and *24 drives* are configured as *2 sets of 12 drives*.  This is true for scenarios when running MinIO as a standalone erasure coded deployment. In [distributed setup however node (affinity)...
