A File Section, and its associated Extended Attribute Record if any, shall be recorded in an Extent either in
interleaved mode or in non-interleaved mode.

Logical Blocks in the File Unit shall be the assigned File Unit size for the File Section.

Numbers of which lie between the last Logical Block Number of a File Unit and the first Logical Block
Number of the next File Unit, if any, in the sequence. All Interleave Gaps between the File Units assigned to
a File Section shall comprise the same number of Logical Blocks. This number shall be the assigned
Interleave Gap size for the File Section.
- comprise part of one or more Volume Partitions.
When a File Section is recorded in interleaved mode, the File Section, and its associated Extended Attribute
Record, if any, shall be recorded over the sequence of File Units assigned to the File Section.
If an Extended Attribute Record is recorded, it shall be recorded in the first File Unit of the sequence. The
recording shall begin at the first byte of the first Logical Block of the File Unit. It shall continue through
successive bytes of that Logical Block, and then through successive bytes of successive Logical Blocks, if
any, of the File Unit, until all of the Extended Attribute Record is recorded.
The successive parts, if any, of the File Section shall be recorded in successive File Units, starting from the
second File Unit in the sequence if an Extended Attribute Record is recorded, and starting from the first File
Unit in the sequence if no Extended Attribute Record is recorded.
