Hi Piergiorgio,

Just being curious, any mathematical improvement in Reed-Solomon's
code like the
RS(96,64) you mentioned? The calculation of RS involves arbitrary
multiplication in a
Galois field and table look-up has to be used. Has that already changed?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Peter,

Perhaps it was not clear that "use self repairing coding
similarly to Parchive" does not mean the same as "use Parchive".

sorry, I understood you meant storing somewhere
files with parities.

Applying self repairing coding to RAID might be easier to
imagine considering of a RAID volume as a directory of
stripe-sized files.

Exactly, but as far as I know this is the same as
any N parities RAID.

I mean, the mathematics and algorithm behind should
be exactly the same...

bye,
