# Erasure code sizing guide

## Toy Setups

Capacity constrained environments, MinIO will work but not recommended for production.

drives.  Therefore, the number of drives you present must be a multiple of one of these numbers.  Each object is written to a single erasure-coding 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)...

| Minimum number of drives per server when server count is 1      | 02            |
| Minimum number of drives per server when server count is 2 or 3 | 01            |
| Minimum number of drives per server when server count is 4      | 01            |
| Maximum number of drives per server                             | no-limit      |
| Read quorum                                                     | N/2           |

 *  * [onHeaders] (unless canceled)
 *  * [onData] (optional sequence of data frames)
 *
 * As a stream ID is scoped to a single HTTP/2 connection, implementations which target multiple
 * connections should expect repetition of stream IDs.
 *
 * Return true to request cancellation of a pushed stream.  Note that this does not guarantee
 * future frames won't arrive on the stream ID.

### 1.2 Host Multiple Tenants on Multiple Drives (Erasure Code)

Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on multiple drives:

```sh
minio server --address :9001 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant3
```
