All replication failures are picked up by the scanner which runs at a one minute frequency, each time scanning upto a sixteenth of the namespace. Object versions marked `PENDING` or `FAILED` are re-queued for replication.

## Implementation

ILM tiering takes place when a object placed in the bucket meets lifecycle transition rules and becomes eligible for tiering. MinIO scanner (which runs at one minute intervals, each time scanning one sixteenth of the namespace), picks up the object for tiering. The data is moved to the remote tier in entirety, leaving only the object metadata on MinIO.

  minio server [FLAGS] DIR{1...64}
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR{1...64} DIR{65...128}

DIR:
  DIR points to a directory on a filesystem. When you want to combine
  multiple drives into a single large system, pass one directory per
  filesystem separated by space. You may also use a '...' convention
  to abbreviate the directory arguments. Remote directories in a
  distributed setup are encoded as HTTP(s) URIs.
