Thanks, that's basically what I wanted to hear. :) My first thought was that you could've reused the R-S code from mdraid or dm-raid or ZFS, but on second thought 1) it may be too specialized to be reusable, and 2) it's GPL (or CDDL), so you can't just plonk it into your own code. And yeah, if it's just 80 lines of Java, I'm worrying about the wrong things.
