Every other file system out there runs fine on a single LUN, when things
go wrong you have a fsck utility that patches it up and the world keeps
on turning.

I can't find anywhere that will sell me a 48 drive SATA JBOD with all
the drives presented on a single SAS channel, so running on a single
giant LUN is a real world scenario that ZFS should be able to cope with,
as this is how the hardware I am stuck with is arranged.

No, it's not a monolithic file, the point I was making there is that no
files are showing up.
