And all your nodes under your control(at least - they are VPSes/Servers which are in your/friends you trust to pay in time name).And - if some storage nodes are permanently down - you can reconfigure gateways you use manually and run repair. + +Please note, it's much better to have nodes with roughly same space(500Gb and 5Gb in same grid is not a good idea,if you for some odd reason must have them both - read and think again,if you still think you must - don't count them in S in below calculations) +Let's say S=number_of_nodes), setup k=3,N=S,h=N-2, +use N=number_of_nodes_total, h=N-2 + + +following links can also be helpful: + + + +
