I'm guessing that you created the filesystem on one of the component
devices (sda6, sdb6) before raiding them together. That doesn't always
work. The resulting md device can be up to 4K (your chunk size is 4k) or
64k (if you have a persistent superblock) smaller than the component
devices.

You can try to resize2fs the filesystem to the proper size or recreate
the filesystem by doing mkfs /dev/md2.

You will eventually get filesystem errors when the filesystem approaches
full capacity if you continue to use it as-is.
