Actually, with the default parameters, 4 out of 10 can fail while guaranteeing to preserve the data. shares.happy - shares.needed = 4. (The circles could be reinterpreted as shares rather than servers, but that's not particularly intuitive.) I really think that this matters and that we should not be claiming that (shares.total-shares.needed) servers can fail. I've been trying to fix anywhere that this mistake is made in the docs. -- David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ http://davidsarah.livejournal.com
