I have a Intel Optane 900p nvme drive that I originally used for a SLOG, but now I've upgraded from CORE to SCALE, and I'm going to reconfigure my environment, moving Plex off of a dedicated kubernetes node onto the Scale server. Since I'll be moving plex (and it's gpu), I wanted to use the Optane drive for transcoding as well, so I've done the following:
used parted to create two partitions:
since it doesn't seem possible to persist an fstab edit, I decided to just create a second pool using the following:
I now correctly see two pools:
however when I go to the UI, I do not see the second pool (transcode), nor can I import the pool (just shows "--"). How can i go about adding the second pool to the system so that plex can use it to transcode? This will be in lieu of the current ramdrive I use on my kubernetes host.
Thanks!

1: 1MB 20GB zfs
2. 20GB 100% (~240GB) zfs

Code:
zpool create transcode nvme0n1p2 -f
I now correctly see two pools:
