Message from Tahoe-LAFS:<br>
<br>
allmydata.interfaces.UploadUnhappinessError: shares could be
placed on only <font color="#ff6600">4</font> server(s) such that
any <font color="#cc6600">3</font> of them have enough shares to
recover the file, but we were asked to place shares on at least <font
color="#cc6600">5</font> (shares.happy) such servers. (placed
all <font color="#cc6600">7</font> (shares.total) shares, want to
place shares on at least <font color="#cc6600">5</font>
(shares.happy, again) servers such that any <font color="#cc6600">3</font>
(shares.needed) of them have enough shares to recover the file,
sent <font color="#ff6600">19</font> queries to <font
color="#ff6600">14</font> servers, <font color="#ff6600">7</font>
(shares.total?) queries placed some shares, <font color="#ff6600">12</font>
placed none (of which <font color="#ff6600">2</font> placed none
due to the server being full and <font color="#ff6600">10</font>
(2+10=12) placed none due to an error))\x0a"<br>
<br>
10 not placed because of an error? Can the message be specific?<br>
<br>
And now the issue:<br>

user 0m0.660s<br>

<br>
My Tahoe.cfg:<br>
# What encoding parameters should this client use for uploads?<br>
shares.needed = 3<br>
shares.happy = 5<br>
shares.total = 7<br>
<br>
<font color="#336666">Almost 2 hours to both succeed and fail.
Can Tahoe-LAFS take over and store shares on an "acceptable"
number of servers, and do it quickly.<br>
<br>
I seems that rigorous adherence to shares.happy is not the best
way to go. If shares.happy can be a "suggestion," (+/- 1 or 2,
specified, or some algorithmically determined departure from the
given value) would be a better choice.<br>
Like:<br>
shares.happy = 5 (-1)<br>
to specify that it's OK to store shares on 4 if it's taking too
long, like over a minute. I'd prefer 5, but if that cannot be
accomplished in a timely manner, then 4 is good enough.</font><br>
