Yes. For non-clustered mirrors, this is preferrable.

I don't have access to a non-Linux system, so I'm not sure what you're
asking.

Are you asking for something to show you which regions in the md bitmap
are dirty?

(The MD device always syncs as a whole, you don't get to pick which parts
to sync exclusively. This will not change.)
