The -a and -f options are used together to create the initial state database replicas. The -c 2 option puts two state database replicas on each specified slice, creating a total of six replicas. By spreading the state database replicas across controllers, you can increase metadevice performance and reliability. The metadb command checks that the replicas are active, as indicated by the -a flag.
