This is a consequence of not using a cache file by default.

Try this instead:
zpool create -o cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache ...

Title:
  Pools get lots on reboot

Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System:

  ubuntu: 16.04
  zfsutils-linux: 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu8

  Create sparse files and create pool:

  root@server:/# fallocate -l 100G /web/lxd/100gb.01
  root@server:/# fallocate -l 100G /web/lxd/100gb.02
  root@server:/# zpool create lxd /web/lxd/100gb.01
  root@server:/# zpool add lxd /web/lxd/100gb.02

  Check:

  root@server:/# zpool list
  NAME   SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
  lxc    199G    77K   199G         -     0%     0%  1.00x  ONLINE  -

  After reboot:

  root@server:/etc/apt# zpool list
  no pools available

  Try to create another pool with that files:

  root@server:/# zpool create lxc /web/lxd/100gb.01 /web/lxd/100gb.02
  invalid vdev specification
  use '-f' to override the following errors:
  /web/lxd/100gb.01 is part of potentially active pool 'lxd'
  /web/lxd/100gb.02 is part of potentially active pool 'lxd'
