For all practical purposes the raw disks that make up the md device are
not useful individually after they are combined.  I assumed you created
an actual partition and so left out that step.  Just in case, here's the
more correct order:

1. make the raid device, /dev/md3 in this case.  After this step all
operations are on the md device, not the underlying disk devices.
2. partition
3. mke2fs
4. fsck
5. mount
