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) based](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/install-deploy-manage/deploy-minio-multi-node-multi-drive.html) erasure stripe sizes are...

### WebIdentityAccessToken (MinIO Extension)

There are situations when identity provider does not provide user claims in `id_token` instead it needs to be retrieved from UserInfo endpoint, this extension is only useful in this scenario. This is rare so use it accordingly depending on your Identity provider implementation. `access_token` is available as part of the OIDC authentication flow similar to `id_token`.

- To be able to reliably use S3 multipart APIs feature of the SDKs without re-inventing the wheel of pre-signing the each URL in multipart API. This is very tedious to implement with all the scenarios of fault tolerance that's already implemented by the client SDK. The general client SDKs don't support multipart with presigned URLs.

## Overview

MinIO implements an S3 extension to perform multiple concurrent fan-out upload operations. A perfect use case scenario for performing fan-out operations of incoming TSB (Time Shift Buffer's). TSBs are a method of facilitating time-shifted playback of television signaling, and media content.

> NOTE: Canceled decommission will not make the pool active again, since we might have  potentially partial namespace on the other pools, to avoid this scenario be absolutely sure to make decommissioning a planned well thought activity. This is not to be run on a daily basis.

λ mc admin decommission cancel alias/ http://minio{1...2}/data{1...4}

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.

- Choice of erasure set size is automatic based on the number of drives available, let's say for example if there are 32 servers and 32 drives which is a total of 1024 drives. In this scenario 16 becomes the erasure set size. This is decided based on the greatest common divisor (GCD) of acceptable erasure set sizes ranging from *4 to 16*....

## Overview

MinIO implements an S3 extension to list, stat and download files inside a ZIP file stored in any bucket. A perfect use case scenario is when you have a lot of small files archived in multiple ZIP files. Uploading them is faster than uploading small files individually. Besides, your S3 applications will be able to access to the data with little performance overhead.

Example:

```sh
minio server /data{1...4}

### Multi destination replication

The replication design for multiple sites works in a similar manner as described above for two site scenario. However there are some
important exceptions.
