Does anyone know the exact difference between Solaris/x86's UFS and FFS and
FreeBSD's UFS and FFS?  Is it possible to install one OS over the filesystems
created by the other one?  What about Linux's UFS module?  Which filesystem
does it support?

The inode header files of FreeBSD's UFS and Solaris/x86' UFS are slightly
different, can this be a problem if i want to mount the UFS created by one
OS under the other OS?  Had anyone tried this before?

Thanks
