What is interlace value in SVM ?

Do we use interlace value only in 'striping' or in 'mirror' also? Also I do not see 'interlace' value in 'soft partition'. Thanks!

I created a test, stripe, concatenation and mirror, and I am able to see 'interlace' value set only in the 'concatenation'. So the interlace value is applicable to the 'concatenation' device only?

bash-3.00# metastat
d23: Mirror
    Submirror 0: d11
      State: Okay
    Submirror 1: d12
      State: Okay
    Pass: 1
    Read option: roundrobin (default)
    Write option: parallel (default)

the link talks about interlace for a stripe and I could see it for device d10

d10 I configured as concatenated device only...

sh-3.00# metastat -p
d23 -m d11 d12 1
d11 1 1 c0d1s5
d12 1 1 c0d1s6
d10 1 2 c0d1s3 c0d1s4 -i 32b
d99 2 1 c0d1s0 \
         1 c0d1s1

You are right Omar, d10 is configured as 'stripe' device not 'concatenated' device. Thank :-)
