command failure

[Thing <thing.thing@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to setup a replication across 3 servers, for some reason I get a failure,

/data1 is my 120gb test volume, (I am waiting on the arrival of 3 x 1tb disks)

The failure I get is,

=====
[root@ipa1 salt]# salt glusterp1.graywitch.co.nz cmd.run "gluster volume create glustervol01 replica 3 glusterp1.graywitch.co.nz:/data01 glusterp2.graywitch.co.nz:/data01 glusterp3.graywitch.co.nz:/data01"
glusterp1.graywitch.co.nz:
    volume create: glustervol01: failed: The brick glusterp1.graywitch.co.nz:/data01 is being created in the root partition. It is recommended that you don't use the system's root partition for storage backend. Or use 'force' at the end of the command if you want to override this behavior.
=====

I am not trying to create this in the root partition but a separate partition but on the same disk.

S do I have syntax error or do I jsut use "force"?

here is the full disk layout,
