[volunteergrid2-l] Recommended settings

[Marco Tedaldi]

Just one thought on the settings:

Setting N to the number of nodes might not be the best idea anyway. At least
if this node also provides storage. I think, there is not much sense in
putting my data on my own node.
So if I'm on a storage node ist seems adviseable to set the shares.total
"total number of nodes" -1. To give the system some slack for downtime maybe
even -2.

Setting the values automatically has some benefits. But there would have to
be quite some code behind it. Imagine a network with 50 nodes or more...
Setting "shares.total" to 48 would not make too much sense in my oppinion.

Also automatically generating the config options does not seem too sensible
to me, since the should change dynamically at runtime (especially in bigger
and more volatile grids).

best regards

Marco
