Thanks to Darren Dunham, Kevin Reichart, Brian Sherwood, Thomas Anders, Brett Lymn, John Riddoch, Rik Schneider, Alvaro Figueroa, and "system administration account". The general consesus is that ufs filesystems can be mounted as ro under Linux. The rw code is still listed as Experimental and is not at all recommended for production work. There doesn't seem to be any support for mounting Linux filesystems under Solaris except for the possibility of doing so under lxrun, but then perhaps only as ro. One person suggested that if the Linux box is Intel, then this is a no go due to the Endian differences between the Intel and Sparc architecture. An alternative would be to use Veritas filesystem, but I don't think our power user would like to pay for a license to run it at home on his Linux box. Thanks again for the responses.

Are there any implications when that same disk is moved back to a Solaris/Sparc platform? What about going the other way? A linux filesystem (which one?) mounted on a Solaris/Sparc server? We use Solaris 8.
