SCRAP is a fault‑embracing storage array for people who own more drives than sense.
Unlike RAID—which assumes disks are honest—SCRAP assumes every disk is lying and still attempts to deliver storage via redundancy, checksums, and shameless optimism.

Levels

Level	Name	Motto
SCRAP-0	Scary Striping	“Fast, until it isn’t.”
SCRAP-1	Sympathetic Mirroring	“Two drives arguing over who’s wrong.”
SCRAP-2	Smart Copy Rotation Array Protocol	“Trust rotates faster than the platters.”
SCRAP-5	Pity Parity	“Parity with personality.”
SCRAP-10	Mirrored Stripes of Doubt	“Because RAID‑10 sounded too confident.”

Example configuration

  level: 5
