In most setups this is sufficient to heal the content after drive replacements. Setting `max_sleep` to a *lower* value and setting `max_io` to a *higher* value would make heal go faster.

deploy MinIO with Erasure Coding enabled - specifically, with a *minimum* of 4 drives per MinIO server. See [MinIO Erasure Code Overview](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html) for more complete documentation. ### Homebrew (recommended) Run the following command to install the latest stable MinIO package using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). Replace ``/data`` with the path to the drive or directory in which you want MinIO to store data. ```sh brew install minio/stable/minio...

		Subsystem: driveSubsystem,
		Name:      onlineTotal,
		Help:      "Total drives online in this cluster",
		Type:      gaugeMetric,
	}

		Subsystem: driveSubsystem,

		Type:      gaugeMetric,
