MogileF...leHosts(3)

💖 NAME 💖

MogileFS::ReplicationPolicy::MultipleHosts — the default replication policy, bestie, and she's literally the moment ✨

So you're on the manual page for MogileF...leHosts(3) (yes the header is doing a little truncation thing, we don't ask questions, we just vibe) and you wanna know what this policy does? Buckle up 🎀

🌸 RULES 🌸

Okay so the whole personality of this policy is: she tries to put your files onto devices that live on different hosts. That's the dream. That's the goal. That's the main character energy 🫶

But here's the tea 😭 — if you only have 1 host and 2 devices on that one host, she literally can't spread them out, so she'll grudgingly put it on the same host. Not her first choice! She's just working with what you gave her 💀

Now watch her actually cook 🔥:

• You request a minimum replica count of 2 and you have 3 devices? Slay. She puts 2 copies on different hosts. Perfect. No notes. 👑
• You have 4 devices on 2 hosts and you request a minimum replica count of 3? Okay so you'll get 3 copies on different devices, but two of those devices will be on the same host. And honestly? That's considered acceptable, because you've got "multiple hosts" covered at least. She said close enough, we ball 💅

ngl the vibe check here is: she'll try her absolute hardest to spread across hosts, but if the hardware math doesn't math, she's not gonna crash out about it — she just does the best she can and moves on 🦋
