> in other words as you interleave more and more blocks, you get a maximal burst size closer and closer to the size of your total number of parity fragments.
I think this could be called out more clearly, as my default assumption was this limit case -- the file grows by X amount, I can recover from up to X amount of corruption. It sounds like that's only the case if the interleave is set to maximum, which is not the default.
Is that because, as you increase the interleave, it increases the amount of the stream you need to read in order to repair any corruption?
