SeaweedFS FAQ

How does the self-healing storage format specifically address data corruption after unexpected server shutdowns?

The Self-Healing Storage Format in SeaweedFS Enterprise automatically detects and removes incomplete or corrupted data entries that result from power loss or system crashes. This process ensures data integrity and maintains a consistent storage state without requiring manual intervention for repair or recovery.

What are the benefits of customizing the Erasure Coding (EC) ratio in SeaweedFS Enterprise?

Customizing the EC ratio allows for optimization of storage costs. For example, using a 20+4 ratio results in a 1.2x overhead, providing flexibility to balance data redundancy with storage efficiency based on specific needs.

Is a license required to use SeaweedFS Enterprise for smaller storage deployments?

No, a license is not required for deployments under 25TB. SeaweedFS Enterprise is free to use for storage capacities below this threshold.

How is the 'used storage' calculated for billing purposes, especially with data replication?

When calculating used storage for billing, all replicated data is included. For instance, if you have a logical data size of 10TB with 2x replication, it will count as 20TB for pricing calculations.

What is the process for obtaining and applying a license after purchasing SeaweedFS Enterprise?

After completing payment via Stripe and choosing your plan, a license file and invoice will be generated and sent to your email. You then apply this license to your SeaweedFS Enterprise cluster following the provided deployment guide.
