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>.

## Overview

	msgLine2Fmt := " Update: %s "

	// Calculate length *without* color coding: with ANSI terminal
	// color characters, the result is incorrect.
	line1Length := len(fmt.Sprintf(msgLine1Fmt, newerThan))
	line2Length := len(fmt.Sprintf(msgLine2Fmt, updateString))

	// Populate lines with color coding.
	line1InColor := fmt.Sprintf(msgLine1Fmt, color.YellowBold(newerThan))

require distributed deploying MinIO with Erasure Coding. For extended development and production, deploy MinIO with Erasure Coding enabled - specifically,
with a *minimum* of 4 drives per MinIO server. See [MinIO Erasure Code Overview](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html)
for more complete documentation.

### Stable

```
mc mb -l myminio/veeambackup
```

> Object locking requires erasure coding enabled on the minio server. For more information see <https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html>.

### Add MinIO as an object store for Veeam

- **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.

// ErasureInfo holds erasure coding and bitrot related information.

- 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.
