larger than 256, because of the 8-bit erasure-coding algorithm that Tahoe
uses.
If servers are lost during an upload, shares.happy determines whether the
upload is considered successful or not. If at least "shares.happy" shares
were placed, the upload is declared a success, otherwise it is declared a
failure. The default value is 7. This value must not be smaller than k nor
larger than N.
shares.happy allows you control over the distribution of your file. An upload
is only considered successful if shares are placed on at least 'shares.happy'
distinct servers, the correct functioning of at least k of which is sufficient
to guarantee the availability of the uploaded file. This value should not be
larger than the number of servers on your grid.
