In the ipfs-cluster system, can We specify different pin numbers for different files?
thanks for your help!!!
Yes. Check replication factor flags in ipfs-cluster-ctl pin add --help.
Thank you very much，
Your reply is perfect, I use “ipfs-cluster-ctl pin add HASH -r num” that can adjust the number of copies of a file.
But I still have a new question.
When I use Composite clusters, how do I accurately adjust the number of copies of a file in Composite clusters?
It’s the same. -r adjusts the number of ipfs daemons to store the pin in the cluster. In composite cluster, a subcluster acts as a single ipfs daemon.
thanks for your reply,
I understand what you mean, but I now need different files with different copy numbers.
In composite cluster, the -r option only adjusts the number of pins on each node( acts as a single ipfs daemon) at the parent cluster level, not the actual number of pins of a object.
So I want to know if there is a method for accurately specifying the copy number of an object in the composite cluster.
thanks a lot!
Ah, no, there is no way to transfer such information to the subcluster to indicate how many times the item should be pinned in it because we are limited by the IPFS [Proxy] API capabilities. Subclusters will pin using the default replication factor from the configuration, which applies to all pins in the subcluster.
