with 4 drives we get a total of 256 possible sets. So algorithm automatically chooses 64 sets, which is *16* 64 = 1024* drives in total.

- *If total number of nodes are of odd number then GCD algorithm provides affinity towards odd number erasure sets to provide for uniform distribution across nodes*. This is to ensure that same number of drives are pariticipating in any erasure set. For example if you have 2 nodes with 180 drives then GCD is 15 but this would lead to uneven distribution,...

`PENDING` or `FAILED` are re-queued for replication.

Replication speed depends on the cluster load, number of objects in the object store as well as storage speed. In addition, any bandwidth limits set via `mc admin bucket remote add` could also contribute to replication speed. The number of workers used for replication defaults to 100. Based on network bandwidth and system load, the number of workers used in replication can be configured using `mc admin config set alias api` to set the `replication_workers`....
