LVM2 Snapshots are quite bad. For starters they are done at the block-level whereas ZFS provides file-level snapshots (aka redirect on write). LVM2 snapshots don't scale well either; seeing as each snapshot imposes a copy out penalty because there isn't a shared exception store (aka LVM snapshot LV) for all snapshots of an origin LV.
