Does anyone here have experience with mounting a Solaris UFS disk on a Linux system? If so, what is the correct mount string to do it?

When in doubt, check the kernel docs: ,----[ linux/Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt ] | USING UFS | ========= | | mount -t ufs -o ufstype=type_of_ufs device dir | | | UFS OPTIONS | =========== | | ufstype=type_of_ufs | UFS is a file system widely used in different operating systems. | The problem are differences among implementations. Features of | some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize | type of ufs automatically. That's why user must specify type of | ufs manually by mount option ufstype. Possible values are: | | old old format of ufs | default value, supported as read-only | | 44bsd used in FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD | supported as read-write | | ufs2 used in FreeBSD 5.x | supported as read-write | | 5xbsd synonym for ufs2 | | sun used in SunOS (Solaris) | supported as read-write | | sunx86 used in SunOS for Intel (Solarisx86) | supported as read-write | | hp used in HP-UX | supported as read-only | | nextstep | used in NextStep | supported as read-only | | nextstep-cd | used for NextStep CDROMs (block_size == 2048) | supported as read-only | | openstep | used in OpenStep | supported as read-only `---- Charles -- "Whip me.
