How many copies of the metadata are maintained within a Redundancy Factor 3 cluster?

In aRedundancy Factor 3 (RF3)cluster,5 copies of the metadataare maintained to ensure data durability and cluster resiliency. RF3 provides fault tolerance against up to two simultaneous failures (e.g., node or disk failures) and requires more metadata copies to achieve this level of protection.

Other redundancy factors:

RF2maintains 3 copies of metadata.

RF3 requires at least 5 metadata copies to protect against additional failures.
