[tahoe-dev] Change the parameters(K-N) when using

[Michael Coppola]

Sorry I don't have an answer, but I would like to second this question. 
I run a small friendnet, and as we add more storage nodes, I would like
to consider changing the K-N parameters too to save space.  Thank you to
anyone who may offer some guidance
