Default Mount Point for Storage Pools

When a pool is created, the default mount point for the root dataset is /pool-name. This directory must either not exist or be empty. If the directory does not exist, it is automatically created. If the directory is empty, the root dataset is mounted on top of the existing directory. To create a pool with a different default mount point, use the -m option of the zpool create command:

# zpool create home c1t0d0
default mountpoint '/home' exists and is not empty
use '-m' option to provide a different default
# zpool create -m /export/zfs home c1t0d0

This command creates a new pool home and the home dataset with a mount point of /export/zfs.
