I don't think this is possible because you are using Linux 2.6.24.7
which does not contain any of the block -> sector conversion changes.
Moreover, those changes should be invisible to userspace. In
particular, mdadm does not need to know whether the kernel uses blocks
or sectors for its internal representations. In fact, no changes to
mdadm were made wrt. the block -> sector conversions.
Can you reproduce the incorrect output for the used device size
with the recent master branch of the mdadm git tree?
Thanks
Andre
