Yes, Fedora. Is there anything else like it for Linux?
I have periodically searched for ufsrestore-compatible software for
Linux, but have been unable to find any yet. In my case, I wanted to be
able to index dumps from a Solaris amanda client on a Linux amanda server.
A few ideas, which might be useful for the future at least: 1) switch
to GNUTAR (I was using GNUTAR but had ended up switching to ufsdump due
to some problems); 2) there used to be a "binary compatibility layer"
that let you execute Solaris executables on Linux, but maybe that has
disappeared, or at least would probably require compiling a "custom
kernel"; 3) look for source code for ufsrestore, but I don't think it's
Open Source; 4) Can Solaris run under VMware on x86 architecture? 5)
look for Open Source libraries that can parse ufsdump format, or ufs
filesystem, and write your own code.
If #2 still exists (though I don't think so) there might be a Linux
distro out there tailored to exploit that capability.
