💖 MogileF...Devices(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's literally called MogileFS::ReplicationPolicy::MultipleDevices. yes the header truncates it, no we're not gonna be normal about it. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

MogileFS::ReplicationPolicy::MultipleDevices — it's a bare-bones replication policy, fr fr. no frills, no extras, just the basics. it's giving minimalist queen 👑

🌸 RULES 🌸

okay so the whole vibe of this policy is: it only puts files onto different devices. that's it. that's the rule. it does not care about hosts, it does not care about drama, it just wants your files spread across different devices, periodt.

the way that this exists is as a quieter alternative to the default MultipleHosts replication policy — specifically for those situations where your hosts are heavily-imbalanced (iykyk — that's when one host has, like, much more storage capacity than another one 🫠). when one big chonky host is holding basically the bulk of the storage, the default policy starts screaming into the logs, and nobody wants that.

so this policy's whole mission? avoid the noisy policy_no_suggestions log messages in clusters where one large host contains the bulk of the storage. no more log spam, no more chaos, just peaceful little device-diversified file placement. main character energy but make it chill 🌈
