size of sda2 is Kilobytes - 23438835 sectors.

Largest 'want' value.

'want' is just less than size of sda2
'limit' is exactly size of md0 (no surprise there).

I suspect you created the filesystem on /dev/sda2, not realising
that when you created a raid1 from sda2 and sdb2 it would be slightly
smaller than sda2 (as md used up to 120K for metadata storage).

 easier for me to spot what is happening - thanks!)
