     [k=<data-chunks>] \
     [m=<coding-chunks>] \
     [ruleset-root=<root>] \
     [ruleset-failure-domain=<bucket-type>] \
     [directory=<directory>] \
     [--force]

Where:

k=<data chunks>

Description
Each object is split in data-chunks parts, each stored on a different OSD.
Type
Integer

Compute coding chunks for each object and store them on different OSDs. The number of coding chunks is also the number of OSDs that can be down without losing data.
Type
Integer
Required

ruleset-root=<root>

Description
The name of the crush bucket used for the first step of the ruleset. For intance step take default.
Type
String
Required
No.
Default
default

ruleset-failure-domain=<bucket-type>

Description
Ensure that no two chunks are in a bucket with the same failure domain. For instance, if the failure domain is host no two chunks will be stored on the same host. It is used to create a ruleset step such as step chooseleaf host.
Type
String
Required
No.
Default
host

directory=<directory>

Description
Set the directory name from which the erasure code plugin is loaded.
Type
