We use interleaving. Each byte in a 4k block is part of a different
Reed-Solomon block, which means an entire lost 4k data block looks like a
single error. When we also spread the bytes that form a single Reed-Solomon
block across the partition, we end up being able to correct several
megabytes of consecutive corrupted blocks with very small space overhead.
