[lxc-users] root device isn't being inherited on ZFS storage pool

I've recently switch from using BTRFS to ZFS backend, and my containers on
the ZFS backend aren't inheriting the root device from my default profile:

    lxduser at raynor:~$ lxc config show fenix
    architecture: x86_64
    [snip]
    devices: {}
    ephemeral: false
    profiles:
    - default
    - 30_vlan_mgmt_server

The default profile, which the container is using has the root device with
a pool specified:

    lxduser at raynor:~$ lxc profile show default
    config: {}
    description: Default LXD profile
    devices:
      root:
        path: /
        pool: lxdpool
        type: disk
    name: default

But the container isn't showing a root device (or any device for that
matter), and I get an error when I try to set a size limit on the root
device for that container:

    lxduser at raynor:~$ lxc config device set fenix root size 50G
    error: The device doesn't exist

Is there a ZFS property that has to be set to get it to inherit the device?
I was able to successfully create the root device on another container, but
I don't want to create the device on each container, I just want to set it
on the profile. I'm on LXD 2.13. Here is my storage device:

    lxduser at raynor:~$ lxc storage list
    +---------+--------+---------+---------+
    |  NAME   | DRIVER | SOURCE  | USED BY |
    +---------+--------+---------+---------+
    | lxdpool | zfs    | lxdpool | 15      |
    +---------+--------+---------+---------+

Thanks,
