If you have build your kernel with Sun disk label support
and UFS support as mentioned in section
building your new kernel, you are now able to
mount your Solaris partitions. During boot up, you should get
something similar to:
hda: [PTBL] [523/255/63] hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 > hda3 <Polaris: [s0]
hda9 [s1] hda10 [s2] hda11 [s3] hda12 [s6] hda13 [s7] hda14 >
Meaning (in this case): partition 3 (hda3) is a
Solaris partition with 6 slices (s0,s1,s2,s3,s6,s7). They
are mapped to Linux devices hda9 to hda14.
Try mounting your Solaris
partitions. When mounting UFS partitions, you always have to
add an -oufstype= argument, in this case
-oufstype=sunx86. So the command to mount a
partition is something like:
mount -oufstype=sunx86 /dev/hda14 /mnt
Now, test your partition. Please note: The write support
on UFS partitions is very experimental. Please don't trust
any data you write on your UFS partitions!
If you want your Solaris partitions automatically mounted
at boot time, you can add a line like
/dev/hda14 /solaris ufs ufstype=sunx86 0 0
to your /etc/fstab
And, of course there are always other ways of sharing
data:
- Floppy disk
I don't know which floppy disk file systems are supported by
Solaris. Do you? Mail me.
- Network
Solaris knows NFS. Linux knows NFS. This might actually
be the best way of sharing data
