Then why not run "cfdisk /dev/md2" (I recommend the version from "GNU fdisk"),
notice that you have a 900GB partition there and 500 GB of free space, then
resize the partition?

You don't seem to understand the difference between /dev/md2 and /dev/md2p1.
And also that resize2fs will not resize md2p1, it will only amend the
ext* filesystem so that it takes all of md2p1.
