How do you handle data recovery in case of crash of one of providers?
All raid5 implemetations use different ECC algorithms for this,
like Reed-Solomon codes etc.
I haven't looked deeply into the code, but it seems there is no
any such algrithms implemeted there. Do you just duplicate data
on all providers?
