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.

- 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...
