Missing usb-thumbstick

[Blumagine]

Hi everyone,
I set up a brand new truenas scale system with 4 hdds and 2 usb thumb sticks. I installed truenas on the first of both. Now I wanted to extend the boot-pool to the second device, but it doesn't show up in truenas itself.
The command lsblk shows:

where sdg is the current boot-stick and sdh being the second one.

Does anyone have an idea why truenas scale doesn't show the stick? And how I can add the second stick to my boot-pool?

Kind regards,

The first obvious point is that it's already formatted with a filesystem (and has a different block size than would be needed to match sdg).

You may be able to get it to show up by wiping it first.

Hi,
thanks for your help. Formatting didn't help. For now I just added it to the boot-pool using the zfs command.
