I planning to make some changes like this:

     echo "  -B zfs [--zfs-root PATH]" >&2

     echo "  --zfs-root PATH    specify the zfs path for lxcpath (default: 
tank/lxc)" >&2

where tank used to be the default zfs pool name for.
A typical zfs list output is like this:

NAME                  USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
tank                  384G   710G   168K  /tank
tank/lxc              384G   710G   256K  /data/lxc
tank/lxc/camel        108G   710G   108G  /data/lxc/camel
tank/lxc/common       854M   710G   854M  /data/lxc/common
tank/lxc/confluence  5.84G   710G  5.84G  /data/lxc/confluence
tank/lxc/demo        1.13G   710G  1.13G  /data/lxc/demo

It's mount point was set by:

zfs set mountpoint=/data/lxc tank/lxc

Of course it's can be anywhere on the filesystem, eg. /var/lib/lxc.


Creating the filesystem for the container:

zfs create $zfs_root/$lxc_name


Cleanup:

zfs destroy $zfs_root/$lxc_name


I've never used neither lxc-clone nor zfs clone, but according to its manpage 
it's not a rocket 
science:)
I just wrote the things above, to make sure, I'm on the right way and maybe you 
want to follow this 
kind of setup:)

If you need help for testing, just let me know, if I'm capable, I can test it.

Good point!
