There is no technical reason, only limited manpower, why OSol cannot support ext2/ext3. On-disk format is stable and documented and here is the solution: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+ext3/ SMB/NFS is good for migration if you have 2 systems but for small business and dualboot it is not good enough. ext4 is different topic.
