FreeBSD has - can have - better ZFS support than Linux. Ubuntu comes close, but then you're on Ubuntu...

Ubuntu has only fraction of what FreeBSD has when it comes to ZFS.

Several things that Ubuntu misses:

- lack of ZFS Boot Environments - https://is.gd/BECTL - https://is.gd/BEADM

- no bootloader integration

- still requires ancient EXT4 or XFS /boot to start system

... and while the version of ZFS is newer on FreeBSD you can always install these packages and have LATEST OpenZFS available:

- sysutils/openzfs

- sysutils/openzfs-kmod

Hope that helps.
