It claims to be SysV? I haven't seen that myself.

Technically it's Mach with a Unix single-server. The flavour of it is 
both SysV and BSD --- as a trivial example, ps aux work as you would 
expect, and so does ps -ef

Older versions had some problems with certain kinds of activities such 
as news spools and proxy cache filesystems. But yes, AdvFS (especially 
with the extended utilities that allow you to add and remove partitions 
from a mounted filesystem) is very nice.
