RAID 1 has no "layout" (for RAID, that usually refers to striping in
RAID levels 0/5/6), so there's nothing for a filesystem to detect or
optimize for.
The chunk size above is for the md-RAID write-intent bitmap; that's not
exposed information (for any RAID system that I'm aware of, software or
hardware) or something that filesystems can optimize for.
