- 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.

MinIO provides protection against multiple node/drive failures and [bit rot](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/erasure/README.md#what-is-bit-rot-protection) using [erasure code](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/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...
