Quite clear - it's a case of arranging that OS chunks match stripes
in the array so that when the OS write out a chunk, it will be a full
stripe of the array and so just be a write to all drives without
needing to read data first to calculate a new parity block.
Though the technicalities of working out the chunk size in the FS is
beyond me at the moment !
