Now it's clear.
So, at very minimum, EC is good starting from 7+3 (10 servers with 1
brick each) because: 512*(7-3) = 2048
Any smaller combinations would mean less redundancy (6+2) or not
optimized stripe size like 512*(5-3)=1024
Is this correct ? And what if I have to add some brick to the current
servers or I have to add new servers?
Can I add them freely or I have to follow some rules ?
