[amol_pali]

Can u elaborate more on how to check solaris kernel for ext3 support and how to recompile kernel with ext3 support?

Or, mount the Solaris partition in Linux.

[root@localhost mnt]# cat /etc/fstab

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

I tried below and it did not work

[root@localhost SOL]# mount -oufstype=sunx86 /dev/sda3 /mnt/sol


[root@localhost SOL]# mount -o ro -t ufs /dev/sda3 /mnt/SOL
mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted or /mnt/SOL busy
