Actually, this is not quite true either come to think of it.

They are both the exact same (!) implementation, they're just two different ports from the Solaris
code they originate from. The *BSD versions are probably a little closer to the Solaris
implementation (I guess, because BSD is closer to Solaris than Linux is).

And since Illumos have been working on their ZFS implementation longer than ZoL, that's a reason why
their version is "more" (more function and more developed I guess would be a reasonable conclusion),
which is the reason why ZoL is currently trying to "catch up" with the Illumos version.


But again, that's what OpenZFS if for - merging all the current implementation into one code base.
