-Each digit in the replication string can have a value of 0, 1, or 2, representing the number of additional copies of the data to be maintained in the seaweed cluster beyond the original. Data remains readable as long as at least one replica is accessible. However, writes are permitted only if the number of replicas is achievable based on the configuration values. With these parameters, there are 27 possible replication configurations. Each configuration physically creates x+y+z+1 copies of the data volume.
+The replication string represents the additional number of copies of data that will be maintained by the seaweed cluster beyond the original data volume.  Data remains readable as long as at least on replica is accessible.  However, writes are permitted only if the number of replicas is achievable based on the replication configuration string.  The max value that can be specified is '255'. The total number of copies of this volume will be the sum of the digits + 1.  The original data is not counted.
