Example -- Creating a Concatenated Stripe From Scratch


# metainit d1 3 2 c0t0d0s2 c1t0d0s2 -i 16k \
	2 c1t2d0s2 c1t2d1s0 -i 32k \
	2 c2t0d0s2 c2t0d1s2
d1: Concat/Stripe is setup

Normally, you would not create a metadevice such as this one from scratch. The example illustrates that d1 is a concatenation of three stripes (the first number 3). The first stripe consists of two slices (the number 2 following the number 3). The -i 16k specifies an interlace of 16 Kbytes. The second stripe (as indicated by the number 2 on the second line) consists of two slices, and uses an interlace of 32 Kbytes. The last stripe consists of a two slices. Because no interlace is specified for the third stripe, it inherits the value from the stripe before it, which in this case is 32 Kbytes.
