- We limited the number of drives to 16 for erasure set because, erasure code shards more than 16 can 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.

// if a "restart/stop" was successful or not. Service signal now supports
// a dry-run that helps skip the nodes that may have hung drives. By default
// restart/stop will ignore the servers that are hung on drives. You can use
// 'force' param to force restart even with hung drives if needed.

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)...

		writer.WriteByte('(')
		for idx, d := range v {
			if idx > 0 {
				writer.WriteByte(',')
			}
			stmt.QuoteTo(writer, d)
		}
		writer.WriteByte(')')
	case clause.Expr:
		v.Build(stmt)
	case string:
		stmt.DB.Dialector.QuoteTo(writer, v)
	case []string:
		writer.WriteByte('(')

			if idx > 0 {
				writer.WriteByte(',')
			}

A stand-alone MinIO server would go down if the server hosting the drives goes offline. In contrast, a distributed MinIO setup with _m_ servers and _n_ drives will have your data safe as long as _m/2_ servers or _m*n_/2 or more drives are online.

For example, an 16-server distributed setup with 200 drives per node would continue serving files, up to 4 servers can be offline in default configuration i.e around 800 drives down MinIO would continue to read and write objects.
