If this is a non-root pool which is not available at boot, then you should do 
this:
sudo zpool set cachefile=none POOL

That will inhibit the creation of a zpool.cache file for that pool.

The other option, if this is always plugged in, would be to configure it
to unlock automatically on boot. For example, using a key file. This
would be secure only if the root file system is also on LUKS.
