Interesting question. If I am reading them correctly, a number of
documents online (including the Wikipedia ZFS entry:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Capacity) claim this to be 2^64
("number of devices in any zpool"), but I couldn't find hard evidence of
this in the OpenZFS source code as I quickly perused through it. (Keep
in mind I was just grepping casually though.)
