This is more then an FDisk, VTOC issue, in that if one found the UFS partition, it too will be unreadable. If one could read the UFS partition, then the UFS volume header, all inodes, all directories and the contents of some, but not all files would be unreadable. The only two Solaris file systems that are endian-neutral are ISO 9660 (High Sierra), which is read-only, and of course ZFS. > > -Kyle > >> -Artem > > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > [email protected] Jim Dunham Storage Platform Software Group Sun Microsystems, Inc. 1617 Southwood Drive Nashua, NH 03063 http://blogs.sun.com/avs _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
