Well, there is no comparable production filesystem in Linux. AdvFS has mirroring snapshots, dynamic resizing etc just like ZFS.
If that is the million dolar question for you it means you’ve never used AdvFS. I’ve worked with both AdvFS and several Linux filesystems and have found nothing in Linux that gets even close to AdvFS.
