You need to set up the unit as flexraid.
Generally it works best to set up one volume per disk. That would give you a 2 TB volume and a 1 TB volume - 3 TB total.

To get there from where you are, you can either do a factory reset, and rebuild from scratch. Or change to flexraid, and if needed, destroy your existing volume.
