Not sure why this was downvoted when it's objectively true. The Linux ZFS support is functional, but lacking.
It's missing NFSv4 ACL support. It's missing per-dataset user and group permissions, forcing all operations to require root privs; on the other systems, the ZFS tools work for all users, with appropriate checks. No delegation of privileges e.g. to allow users to perform admin actions like snapshotting, send/recv. No transparent NFS export. It behaved badly when a disc glitched, requiring a reboot to resolve; the tools started getting stuck in D state when trying to investigate the fault. And just a few weeks ago it refused to mount all my datasets until I changed the mountpoint (for no discernable reason). FreeBSD and IllumOS provide a more mature, well integrated implementation.
