Resized how? I didn't think mdadm allowed shrinking of arrays. Even if
it did, it couldn't do so unless the filesystem was smaller than the
final array size.

I think you mean filesystem rather than partition here (unless you're
using a partitioned array). mdadm doesn't resize the filesystem as the
means of doing this is filesystem-specific. You'll need to use the
appropriate tool (resize2fs, resize_reiserfs, xfs_growfs) to do this
yourself.
