I am getting a strange error while uploading files to Tahoe today.  The 
error is:

"UploadUnhappinessError('shares could be placed on only 9 server(s) such 
that any 7 of them have enough shares to recover the file, but we were 
asked to place shares on at least 10 such servers. (placed all 12 
shares, want to place shares on at least 10 servers such that any 7 of 
them have enough shares to recover the file, sent 10 queries to 10 
servers, 10 queries placed some shares, 0 placed none (of which 0 placed 
none due to the server being full and 0 placed none due to an error))',) 
(profiles_activity.frm)"

My client settings are:

shares.needed = 7
shares.happy = 10
shares.total = 12

Actual available storage servers: 16

What is strange about the error is that it shows that 10 shares were 
placed and that there were 0 errors.  However, I get an unhappiness error.

The part of the error message that has me confused is:

"sent 10 queries to 10 servers, 10 queries placed some shares, 0 placed 
none (of which 0 placed none due to the server being full and 0 placed 
none due to an error)"

What am I missing?

Regards,

Brad
