The old ext2 module for Solaris no longer works for ext file systems
created by Redhat and Suse kernels so forget that idea. Neither can
Solaris ext2 read them nor can the Linux mke2fs be downgraded to
create one readable by Solaris.

Both xfs and jfs are - like ufs - at the end of their development
line, ReiserFS isn't. And ReiserFS is becoming more and more the de
facto standard on Linux.

What about sharing disks or USB sticks between computers? And a file
server only works if the computers are connected and in some cases
direct connections may be explicitly forbidden (e.g. intranet).
