How do you show the .zfs directory if it ignores `ls -a`?

The whole VFS is an illusion, it's totally possible for the filesystem driver to say one thing in readdir(3) and another thing in fopen(3).

Related fun fact: if you have +x but not +r on a directory, you can traverse it (access things whose names you know), but not view its contents (`ls` won't work).

You have to go into zfs settings to enable it, I think it's something like this: `zfs set snapdir=visible poolname/dataset`

After that you can see it with `ls -la`.
