We have successfully recovered Solaris <--> Linux. It was a test we ran a 
while back and I can't remember for sure in which direction, but it 
definitely worked. I can't say that file permissions, etc., were all 
perfectly preserved, but the data was there, FWIW.

Maybe it was a case of "possible but not supported"... ?
