Date: 03 Jul 1996 16:53:59 GMT Organization: CS Department, University of Wisconsin Lines: 10 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <ZYCHEN.96Jul3115400@sol19.cs.wisc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sol19.cs.wisc.edu Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.solaris:73823 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:22762 comp.os.linux.misc:114148 Does anyone know the exact difference between Solaris/x86's UFS and FFS and FreeBSD's UFS and FFS? Is it possible to install one OS over the filesystems created by the other one? What about Linux's UFS module? Which filesystem does it support? The inode header files of FreeBSD's UFS and Solaris/x86' UFS are slightly different, can this be a problem if i want to mount the UFS created by one OS under the other OS? Had anyone tried this before? Thanks
