I do some research on one computer , there are 10 storage nodes, after upload a file on the grid , the file distribute on the 10 nodes,then I run the rm -r 'u2' delete the share of the file , only left three shares,I think the system will do some work to increase the shares of the file to make it reliable,but after two days later,I run the linux command ' find /storage -name u2 ' and only find three shares,this means the grid do nothing after the file lost some shares,why will these happen ,can you help me ?

Hi Xiao,

This does not happen automagically, you need to run:
tahoe check --repair
on the uri of the file.
And running find /storage -name u will not tell you how many shares there are, the shares can be placed on other nodes.
so run tahoe check on the uri, that will give you info about how many shares there are.

Kind regards,
Ed
