Como resposta parcial, criei a seguinte ferramenta para criar um contêiner LXC a partir de um subvolume: link
if [[ "$(grep br0 /etc/network/interfaces)" == "" ]]; then
cat <<ONETIME
ERROR: No br0 bridge device found in /etc/network/interfaces file.
Edit your /etc/network/interfaces file and add/replace the following section
in place of "eth0" section
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge-ifaces eth0
bridge-ports eth0
up ifconfig eth0 up
iface eth0 inet manual
Then run the following:
sudo ifup br0
ONETIME
exit
fi
