I'm trying to add ZIL to ZFS, but it fails with error message in topic.
Code:
root@pve:~# zpool status -v
  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

    NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
    rpool       ONLINE       0     0     0
      mirror-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
        sda2    ONLINE       0     0     0
        sdb2    ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors
root@pve:~# zpool add  rpool log nvme0n1p1
cannot add to 'rpool': one or more devices is currently unavailable
root@pve:~#
I have tried different names for the log partition, no luck.
Adding cache worked first try,
Code:
root@pve:~# zpool add rpool cache nvme0n1p2
root@pve:~# zpool status -v
  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

    NAME         STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
    rpool        ONLINE       0     0     0
      mirror-0   ONLINE       0     0     0
        sda2     ONLINE       0     0     0
        sdb2     ONLINE       0     0     0
