Software based RAID for Linux.  Been in the kernel since 2.2 and very 
stable since 2.4
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html

Logical volume management.  Been around for a long time too.  This 
allows you to create one volume from many disks and remove or add disks 
to this volume.

I don't know which would compare to Windows Dynamic Disk but RAID 
certainly is availble, mature and is very stable.  Whoever claimed 
otherwise does not know what they are talking about.
