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

This page is intended as a summary of MinIO Erasure Coding. For a more complete explanation, see <https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html>.

	// Algorithm is the string representation of erasure-coding-algorithm
	Algorithm string `json:"algorithm"`

rot](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/erasure/README.md#what-is-bit-rot-protection) using [erasure code](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html). 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...

		var hint string
		if endpoint.URL != nil {
			hint = fmt.Sprintf("Drive '%s' does not support O_DIRECT flags, MinIO erasure coding requires filesystems with O_DIRECT support", endpoint.Path)
		} else {
			hint = "Drives do not support O_DIRECT flags, MinIO erasure coding requires filesystems with O_DIRECT support"
		}
		logger.Fatal(config.ErrUnsupportedBackend(err).Hint("%s", hint), "Unable to initialize backend")

- 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.
