Help with RaidZ1 on FreeNas

[Makaveli6103]

I am using 2 2Tb Drives and 2 1Tb drives. When I try to make the pool it gives me an error and in the log it says to use -f command. How exactly do I do this?
Thanks

What error, specifically? If it is about the drives being part of a previous pool and you're sure you want to do it, you can go to the command line and use -f (the force option) and enter the command manually. What specific command depends. If you're trying to make a raidz1, likely something like 'zpool create -f XXX raidz device1 device2 device3 device4'

Ok I wanted to make sure I was doing it right but last time I tried 'zpool create -f -m xxx raidz device1 device2 device3 device4' and had problems with accessing it via smb and afp. I was getting permissions problems on my mac and pc. What is the '-m' command? I will try it without the '-m' this time. Thanks

where did you get '-m' from? not from my post?!

haha no. It had the -m in my log when I got the error when trying to set up the pool in the gui.

So I made my pool with the -f command. Now when I access it through smb/afp it says "You need permission to perform this action" I did not set up authentication. How do I fix this?
