Yes but I also want the current disk usage to be available inside the
container so that, for instance, df returns realistic results.

Using a zfs pool per container works just fine for this purpose but I
am concerned that having potentially many 100s of zfs pools per server
may not be very efficient. This sums up what I am after...

IOW if I supply 5GB of space to a paying client I need to have a way
for both them and myself to easily monitor that disk space. It's the
one thing that has stopped me from using LXD for real. Well that and
not having an open source PHP control panel that runs on Ubuntu servers.
