You need to compile a new kernel with the experimental read/write ufs option. Note that this might thrash your filesystem, it's an experimental device driver. Unfortunately I haven't been keeping up to date on the sparc port, so I can't advise you as to a good new kernel to use. -- Elie Rosenblum That is not dead which can eternal lie, http://www.cosanostra.net And with strange aeons even death may die.
