 Greyhole allows file replication, to provide protection against some hardware failures.

+Greyhole offers four options for each share:
 * '''One''': Initially, files in a share in the pool are stored once in the pool, without extra copies stored (a '-' in the option)
 * '''Many''': You can specify how many '''extra''' copies you want for files in that share. The total limit in the number of copies is the number of partitions joined in the pool.
