Sure.  We need an iSCSI lun that goes across multiple filesystems.  We basically want to stitch together filesystems into an iSCSI lun.  The code that existed required that the LUN consist of one file (unless I am mistaken).

Do you see a better way to do this?  In out situation we can't take multiple disks and create an LVW then populate it with one giant file.

Exactly what is this use case? Without knowing more it is hard to say if
others might find it useful. Is this to support filesystems with a
restrictive file size limit?
