I don't understand the problem, unless you haven't actually tried it and simply don't realise there is no problem? While I may have missed the kernel doc that Mr. Chan was nice enough to point me to, I _did_ try it and there is a problem.
These days linux most distros, including opensuse 11.1 supports both the ufs filesystem and more importantly the disk partitioning scheme out of the box. You _might_ need to manually modprobe one or more kernel Even Solaris slices?
may have to trial & error a few times to pick the right mount option to choose the right flavor of "UFS" between several sun and bsd variants. Perhaps but I started with ufstype=sunx86 because that is what I have.
was opensuse 11.1 x86_64, the supplying machine was solaris-9-sparc. On I am less familiar with the sparc disks but I seem to remember that there are differences between disks on sparc and on x86.
So in other words, in the words of a terrific developer I know who's absolutely perfect answer to many questions is: "What happened when you tried it?" mount -t ufs -o ufstype=sunx86 /dev/sdb6 /mnt/data
gives an error something like disk not ready or /mnt/data in use
try it that way. If the sun box is new enough to have a usb 2.0 port It is an Ultra20 which has USB2 and firewire
Get nice easy pkgadd packages for rsync and any required support libs for your version of solaris from sunfreeware. Been there and have used it to get rsync
filesystem if there was actually a filesystem problem, but since linux has no problem reading a solaris ufs filesystem, a filesystem IS a lot Perhaps in your world there is no problem but in mine there is. I have tried the Yast partition tool as well as manual mounting but with no luck. Maybe it is supposed to be straightforward but I might be missing some important element for that to work.
