Any updates on this issue? We're interested in trying this out to save space on
our cold files.

> ReedSolomon encoding (n, k) has n storage nodes and can tolerate n-k
> failures. Regenerating a block needs to access k blocks. This is a problem
> when n and k are large. Instead, we can use simple regenerating codes (n, k,
> f) that does first does ReedSolomon (n,k) and then does XOR with f stripe
> size. Then, a single disk failure needs to access only f nodes and f can be
> very small.
