Is zfs endian independent? I just went through a bad experience when
I tried to move a ufs volume from a sparc to x86 Solaris box. I also
tried Linux because the documentation claims that Linux ufs is able
to read either ufs endian, but I think that's only in a future (or
pipe) dream (got a "bad magic number").
The design of ZFS is endian-neutral. Ufs is very much endian-dependent
and as I understand it the work involved to remedy that is more than
non-trivial.
