The very same thing works Does "after a short while" involve host reboots, libvirtd restarts or anything like that? Anyway, I've just checked the scenario you provided on FreeBSD and I was able to create a VM using this new 'test1' volume. I was using just virsh though. I'll try to setup Ubutun 17.04 VM and check there. > as expected if I create a new zfs > pool which I hand into libvirt.
