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*.

- *If total drives has many common divisors the algorithm chooses the minimum amounts of erasure sets possible for a erasure set size of any N*.  In the example...
