 This uses an amount of space on each server equal to the total size of your data divided by `K`.
 
-Tahoe-LAFS is typically used with `3-of-10` parameters, so the data is spread over 10 different drives, and you can lose any 7 of them and still recover the entire data.  This gives much better reliability than comparable RAID setups, at a cost of only 3.3 times the storage space that a single copy takes.  It takes about 3.3 times the storage space, because it uses space on each server needs equal to 1/3 of the size of the data and there are 10 servers.
