Hi,
I am not a solaris or Linux guy, but curious if NFS based volume is used
to copy the data between Solaris and linux would that work to remove the
incompatible file systems, i.e ext3 vs ufs ?
Thanks

It still is trickier if the you are migrating between machines with
different
"endian-ness" as from SPARC -> x86. Very much suggest you do it by
save/restore of the bootstrap. The indexes are saved in XDR format and
should
be OK with just a copy.
Sorry for messing up the (un)logical order in this Q&A, but I hate
top-posting
and couldn't make myself do it this time either ;-)
