Those options apply to RAID. If you're using software RAID, the mkfs
command is supposed to autodetect the geometry being used by lower
layers and picks the correct options automatically. If you're using
hardware RAID you either need to specify these options at mkfs time,
or you can use mount options to do it. For an SD card, it sounds
inapplicable.
