LXC container disappears after cloning a VM (using ZFS)
I have a VM on google cloud that has 2 disks: system disk and a ZFS disk. I also have a LXC container (named 'lightapi') on that VM, and everything works.
I am using LXC 1.0 (lxc-* commands, without LXD)
The LXC is sharing folders with the ZFS disk.
I wanted to clone the VM, so I stopped it, made snapshots from the disks, and created a new VM using them.
When I boot the new VM, I can see the container files in /var/lib/lxc/lightapi.
But the container is not running, although in the original VM it was set to autorun on boot. If I try to lxc-attach, it doesn't work, with no error message.
It seems that there is something wrong with the ZFS on the new VM:
$ zpool list
no pools available
while on the original VM exists a pool. I believe that as a result the LXC container is not able to connect. Is there a way to connect to the zpool that is in the duplicated disk on the new VM?

I found the answer:
Before creating the snapshot, on on the original vm, do :
zpool export [name]
then stop the original vm, duplicate the disk, and clone the vm. After booting the new vm do:
zpool import [name]
And that's it.
