pieter, that is absolutely beautiful!!
it was really bothering me how you can recover data that really wasn't
'there'.
my son and i just worked out the mechanism with some nibbles:
0110 d0
0011 d1
0010 d2
====
0111 p
so
0111 p 0111 p 0111 p
0011 d1 0110 d0 0110 d0
0010 d2 0010 d2 0011 d1
==== ==== ====
0110 d0 0011 d1 0010 d2
and just extend the concept from nibbles to blocks.
why in diagram 20-3 of the handbook do they show 2 parity blocks though
for disk3 and disk4? why would you ever have more than 1 for any single
disk?
