It does. The AIX file/disk system is quite neat -- you can dynamically grow and shrink file systems and partitions on the fly ( while the system is in full use ). It's also journaled and fully supports raid arrays.
I know that some people are working on a journaled file system for Linux like in AIX. I could take or leave this, but I'd sure like a Linux filesystem/partition set up that is as flexible as AIX's.
