In most setups this is sufficient to heal the content after drive replacements. Setting `max_sleep` to a *lower* value and setting `max_io` to a *higher* value would make heal go faster.

on 16 drive MinIO deployment. If you use eight data and eight parity drives, the file space usage will be approximately twice, i.e. 100 MiB
file will take 200 MiB space. But, if you use ten data and six parity drives, same 100 MiB file takes around 160 MiB. If you use 14 data and
two parity drives, 100 MiB file takes only approximately 114 MiB.

describes everything that can be configured in a MinIO setup, such as '--address', '--console-address' and command line arguments for the MinIO server.

Historically everything to MinIO was provided via command arguments for the hostnames and the drives via an ellipses syntax such as `minio server http://host{1...4}/disk{1...4}` this requirement added an additional burden to have sequential hostnames for us to make sure that we can provide horizontal distribution, however we have come across situations...

| `minio_cluster_health_status`                     | Get current cluster health status              |
| `minio_cluster_health_erasure_set_healing_drives` | Count of healing drives in the erasure set     |
| `minio_cluster_health_erasure_set_online_drives`  | Count of online drives in the erasure set      |
| `minio_cluster_health_erasure_set_read_quorum`    | Get read quorum of the erasure set             |

If one or more drives are offline at the start of a PutObject or NewMultipartUpload operation the object will have additional data
protection bits added automatically to provide the regular safety for these objects up to 50% of the number of drives.
This will allow normal write operations to take place on systems that exceed the write tolerance.

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.

- We limited the number of drives to 16 for erasure set because, erasure code shards more than 16 can become chatty and do not have any performance advantages. Additionally since 16 drive erasure set gives you tolerance of 8 drives per object by default which is plenty in any practical scenario.
