</H2>
<P>If you have build your kernel with Sun disk label support
and UFS support as mentioned in section
<A HREF="Linux+Solaris-3.html#kernel">building your new kernel</A>, you are now able to
mount your Solaris partitions. During boot up, you should get
something similar to:
<PRE>
hda: [PTBL] [523/255/63] hda1 hda2 &lt; hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 &gt; hda3 &lt;Polaris: [s0]
hda9 [s1] hda10 [s2] hda11 [s3] hda12 [s6] hda13 [s7] hda14 &gt;
</PRE>
Meaning (in this case): partition 3 (<CODE>hda3</CODE>) is a
Solaris partition with 6 slices (s0,s1,s2,s3,s6,s7). They
are mapped to Linux devices <CODE>hda9</CODE> to <CODE>hda14</CODE>.
<P>Try mounting your Solaris
partitions. When mounting UFS partitions, you always have to
add an <CODE>-oufstype=</CODE> argument, in this case
<CODE>-oufstype=sunx86</CODE>. So the command to mount a
partition is something like:
<PRE>
mount -oufstype=sunx86 /dev/hda14 /mnt
</PRE>
Now, test your partition. <EM>Please note: The write support
on UFS partitions is very experimental. Please don't trust
any data you write on your UFS partitions!</EM>
<P>If you want your Solaris partitions automatically mounted
at boot time, you can add a line like
<PRE>
/dev/hda14 /solaris ufs ufstype=sunx86 0 0
</PRE>
to your /etc/fstab
<H2><A NAME="ss6.2">6.2 Alternative ways</A>
</H2>
<P>And, of course there are always other ways of sharing
data:
<DL>
<DT><B>Floppy disk</B><DD><P>I don't know which floppy disk file systems are supported by
Solaris. Do you? Mail me.
<DT><B>Network</B><DD><P>Solaris knows NFS. Linux knows NFS. This might actually
be the best way of sharing data
