The default command is `ec.encode -fullPercent=95 -quietFor=1h`. It will find volumes at least 95% of the maximum volume size, which is usually 30GB, and have no updates for 1 hour.
Note: One collection can contain both normal volumes and erasure coded volumes, with write requests going to normal volumes.
### Data Repair
If disks fail or servers fail, some data shards are lost. With erasure coding, we can recover the lost data shards from the remaining data shards.
