However, this pool is not taking advantage of any ZFS features, so let's create a ZFS filesytem on this pool with compression enabled. ZFS supports many compression algorithms: lzjb, gzip, zle, lz4. LZ4 is often the most performant algorithm in terms of compression of data versus system overhead.

## Why is Erasure Code useful?
Erasure code protects data from multiple drives failure unlike RAID or replication. For eg RAID6 can protect against 2 drive failure whereas in Minio erasure code you can lose as many as half number of drives and still the data reamins safe. Further Minio's erasure code is at object level and can heal one object at a time. For RAID, healing can only be performed at volume level which translates into huge down time. As Minio encodes each object individually with a high parity count. Storage servers once deployed should not require drive replacement or healing for the lifetime of the server. Minio's erasure coded backend is designed for operational efficiency and takes full advantage of hardware acceleration whenever available.

In this document we will illustrate how to set up multiple Minio server instances on single machine. These Minio servers are running on thier own port, data directory & configuration directory.
