This is bad.  Something has happened to your filesystem.
It is almost as though someone ran "mkfs" on the array.
I don't know much about recovery after such an action, but I doubt you
will get much back.

"Used Dev Size" isn't "how much of the array is used by the filesystem" -
mdadm doesn't know anything about filesystems.
It is "How much of each individual device is used by the array", which is
usually a little less than the size of the smallest device.
So 2TB is correct here.
