Please recreate the array with this combination, then show:

mdadm -D /dev/md2
mdadm -E /dev/sd[bce]1
cat /proc/partitions
for x in /dev/sd[bce] ; do fdisk -l $x ; done

i dont know what chunk do you what but i think you mean 512k

Yes.

mdadm --create /dev/md2 --assume-clean --chunk=512 --verbose --level=5
--raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 missing /dev/sde1

mdadm -E /dev/sd[bce]1
/dev/sdb1:

See the difference?

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util
fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Oops.  But you get the point, I hope.  /dev/sdc has a different
partition table from /dev/sdb and /dev/sde.  That short partition is
causing mdadm to make the array too small for the filesystem in it.

You need to fix the partitions on /dev/sdc to exactly match /dev/sdb and
/dev/sde.  Can you explain how it might have become different?

And use "parted /dev/sdb print" to show the partitions instead of fdisk.
