It works for me, though I've only really used it for mounting the UFS slice off of the installation CDs (we run our jumpstart server on Linux, mostly because that way we can do Solaris/Sparc, Solaris/x86 and RedHat off a single platform). It used to get confused over extended major/minor numbers (and got them completely wrong for x86 UFS), but I think the patches I wrote for that got integrated into 2.6.10. -- Alex Kiernan _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
