MinIO protects data against hardware failures and silent data corruption using erasure code and checksums. With the highest level of redundancy, you may lose up to half (N/2) of the total drives and still be able to recover the data.

## What is Erasure Code?

```

Distributed erasure coded configuration with 2 sets, 16 drives per set across hosts.

```
minio server http://host{1...32}/disk1
```

Distributed erasure coded configuration with rack level redundancy 32 sets in total, 16 drives per set.

```
minio server http://rack{1...4}-host{1...8}.example.net/export{1...16}

* Add RBAC support to fluentd-elasticsearch cluster addon ([#46203](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46203), [@simt2](https://github.com/simt2))
* Avoid redundant copying of tars during kube-up for gce if the same file already exists ([#46792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46792), [@ianchakeres](https://github.com/ianchakeres))

> **NOTE:** **Each pool you add must have the same erasure coding parity configuration as the original pool, so the same data redundancy SLA is maintained.**

## 3. Test your setup

To test this setup, access the MinIO server via browser or [`mc`](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart).

 * stores information-per-URL will need to either canonicalize manually, or suffer unnecessary
 * redundancy for such URLs.

 * Because they don't attempt canonical form, these classes are surprisingly difficult to use
 * securely. Suppose you're building a webservice that checks that incoming paths are prefixed
