- Erasure coding used by MinIO is [Reed-Solomon](https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon) erasure coding scheme, which has a total shard maximum of 256 i.e 128 data and 128 parity. MinIO design goes beyond this limitation by doing some practical architecture choices.

## Combine predefined responses and custom ones { #combine-predefined-responses-and-custom-ones }

You might want to have some predefined responses that apply to many *path operations*, but you want to combine them with custom responses needed by each *path operation*.

- **Engage Early**: Discuss complex changes in issues or Slack (https://slack.min.io) before coding.
- **Be Responsive**: Address reviewer feedback promptly to keep PRs moving.
- **Learn from Reviews**: Use feedback to improve future contributions.

As the minimum drives required for distributed MinIO is 2 (same as minimum drives required for erasure coding), erasure code automatically kicks in as you launch distributed MinIO.

If one or more drives are offline at the start of a PutObject or NewMultipartUpload operation the object will...

MinIO server supports storage class in erasure coding mode. This allows configurable data and parity drives per object.
