Use 'zpool list' to see the actual size and usage of your pool.

The amount you lose in overhead from partitioning and setting up geli
providers is pretty neglible; it's all down

Yes, RAIDZ2 has around that level of overhead: think two parity blocks
for each three data blocks, so worst case is that about 40% of your raw
space will disappear.  The actual amount depends on exactly how many
drives you're using.
