About what?  What I described above should work.

Note also that the staging branch now supports '-P|--lxcpath' for all
commands, so you could simply

	sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n r1 -P /data/lxc
	sudo lxc-start -n r1 -P /data/lxc

or for that matter
	cat >> /etc/lxc/lxc.conf << EOF
	lxcpath=/data/lxc
	EOF
	sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n r1
	sudo lxc-start -n r1

The only thing not yet merged is support in the cgroup code for being
able to run containers named r1, at the same time, from multiple
lxcpaths.
