Someone on the mailing lists attempted to do this recently, and although it *appeared* to work the formats were different enough such that mounting the FS from the other OS corrupted it when the native OS tried to read the FS. Solaris has apparently added some 'extensions' to the standard BSD-FFS to make it slightly incompatible.
