Valid concern.

Though I believe you can create the new pool with a mount point set to
nothing.  Then new volumes therein will need to have their mount point set.

I /think/ the following would work:

    zpool create -m none export c1t1d0

Obviously RTFM to make sure I'm not causing you to delete files.
