It's not quite like copies as it's not actually a copy of the data I'm talking
about. 10% parity or even 5% could easily fix most disk errors that won't
result in a total disk loss.
Do you have data to back this up?
Basically something like par archives.
par archives are trying to solve a different problem.
"Only useful for simple workstations" isn't exactly "only" in my book. That
would account for what, 90% of all computers? (97% of statistics are made up)
Uep: Yeah it could be implemented by extending the checksum in some way.
Pedantically, if the checksum has the same number of bits, then it is a
copy.
I don't see a performance issue if it's not enabled by default though.
Eh?
