Thanks for the tips.

It actually did complain about size difference at one point.  I used
the -f option.  But later destroyed the zpool I'd created that way.

I thought the problem had something to do with fdisk partitions so
fdisked and deleted all partitions.  (There was 1 on each drive).

After that when I created the raidz1 with those two there was no
complaint so I thought I was walking in tall cotton.  Only later when
I ran df -h and saw that zfs had reduced the zpool to lowest disk
size did I realize I didn't really understand what I was doing.

Your tips summarize what I'd already found on line before seeing your
post.  Very useful to hear from experienced user on this.
