Hello all together,

I want to create a RAIDZ with 3 disks: 200GB, 200GB, 100GB
But when trying to create it through the UI, I get the following error

Code:
# /sbin/zpool create -o ashift=12 zfs1 raidz /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
raidz contains devices of different sizes
TASK ERROR: command '/sbin/zpool create -o 'ashift=12' zfs1 raidz /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd' failed: exit code 1

So I assume this would be possible with the command line option "-f"

Is there a way to force this in the UI?

Also, another related question: I can initialize disks with GPT but where can I create the partitions afterwards?
