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...

          annotationClass.getDeclaringClass(),
          returnType.getComponentType());
    }
  }

  // This is public so that tests for Feature enums we haven't yet imagined
  // can reuse it.
  public static <E extends Enum<?> & Feature<?>> void assertGoodFeatureEnum(
      Class<E> featureEnumClass) {
    final Class<?>[] classes = featureEnumClass.getDeclaredClasses();
    for (Class<?> containedClass : classes) {

          annotationClass.getDeclaringClass(),
          returnType.getComponentType());
    }
  }

  // This is public so that tests for Feature enums we haven't yet imagined

- 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.
