This is the man md about:
When 'near' replicas are chosen, the multiple copies of a given chunk are laid out consecutively across
the stripes of the array, so the two copies of a datablock will likely be at the same offset on two
adjacent devices.
I think the word "similar" is the same.

They are certainly on different devices so I guess you are questioning the
use of the word "similar".
What do you understand "similar" to mean?
How would you describe offsets which might be the same, or might differ by
one chunk-size?
I'm happy to change the text if it is confusing, but only if the result is
undoubtedly less confusing.
