I have now:
md0 : active raid5 sdf3[3] sde3[1] sda3[0]
3887004672 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
bitmap: 1/8 pages [4KB], 131072KB chunk
Metadata is 1.2, and the internal bitmap is 8 pages, which is 32K, not 3K.
Did I misunderstand something, or perhaps 3K was a typo?

With respect,
