Hello, what filesystem does solaris use? Is it "System V" or maybe "JFS" ?
Sun uses UFS which (if my memory serves) is a BSD type filesystem
Could I read such a partition under Linux?
Yes, but be _very_ careful, and you will probably need to recompile the kernel to do so.
Are there some repair-tools for such filesystems?
Under solaris - yes, be _extremely_ careful when mounting read/write under linux - it is NOT advised and I personally have trashed many a sun filesystem accidently when doing a simple write operation (granted, this was in the earlier 2.4 kernels)
all I can say is that if the information is important, then find a sun box, install it and then mount the drive under that - mounting for anything other than read operations in linux is _not_ recommended.
oh, and incase I missed it - read the readme's under the linux kernel Documentation directory. If you don't, then expect to loose your filesystem.
Well, the solaris box does not boot anymore. I ends up with some error like "vendor media error 111" from the seagate hard disk.
The most important thing are the CAD-data on it.
Because of this hard disk error i might be, that I event can´t mount the disk for read-access under linux...
I don´t know anybody with a second box:-(
