MD, LVM and ext4/xfs are used in solutions that are used as alternatives to NetAPP and ZFS like https://stratis-storage.github.io/faq/. Please note I did not type EMC.
Dell bietet Technologielösungen, Services und Support. Notebooks, Touchscreen-PCs, Desktop-PCs, Server, Speicher, Monitore, Gaming und Zubehör kaufen
EMC in fact backs using xfs in a lot of their configurations. EMC provides the block device and volume management side integration into LVM.
So if ZFS competes with EMC it has to compete in part with the xfs file system because the xfs file system is part of EMC solutions.

Compare that to utilities that can be piped together. If one version of ls is giving you problems, it doesn't destroy your data, the OS or anything else. (Yes it could if a really buggy version existed, but you get what I mean.

It is weird, how many times will this out of tree drive face situations like this?
