create a zfs filesystem in the global zone for the

$ zfs set mountpoint=/export/zones/zone1

With zonecfg set your zonepath=/export/zones/zone1
Wait a sec, this doc is pretty unequivocal about
doing this:

Hmmm, I have been doing this for a long time (though on nevada) with no
problems. If this document is correct it looks like Sun has shot itself in the
foot and released ZFS to Solaris 10 with a zery large bug. Is UFS safe???
For some reason the url provided does not seem to bring up
any specific section in the doc for me, so I am not sure
which section is being referenced.
Although you can put a zone on a zfs filesystem, we currently
caution against this because the upgrade support
is not available yet. If you do this on S10u2, you won't be
able to upgrade to S10u3. There is also an issue with how
space is calculated for installing patches when the zone is
on zfs. We have this on the list of things to work on, but I
am not sure when it will finally be done. In the meantime, you
have to be careful about this kind of configuration. We do have
code already available in opensolaris which will automatically
create this kind of configuration. It has not yet be backported
to S10 because of the these issues though.
I am not sure what the comment about 'ufs not being safe' means.
