### Transition Status

>` is set in the metadata with the timestamp of replication and ResetID. For saving iops, the objects which are re-replicated are not first set to `PENDING` state.

This is a slower operation that does not use replication queues and is designed to walk the namespace and replicate objects one at a time so as not to impede server load. Ideally, resync should not be initiated for multiple buckets simultaneously - progress of the syncing can be monitored by looking at `mc replicate resync status...

- 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.
