Are you sure that you want to use /dev/nvme0n1p2 and not /dev/nvme0n1p1? It looks like you are overwriting a active ZFS vdev and it is repairing itself.
What are the outputs of zpool status and lsblk?
EDIT: The partition is 512MiB, which makes it look like an ESP.

As shown, SDG SDH nvme is the rpool hard disk.
