Thank you. We had been using multiple read-only UFS monts and one R/W mount as
a "poor-man''s" technique to move data between SAN-connected
hosts. Based on your discussion, this appears to be a Really Bad Idea[tm].
That said, is there a "HOWTO" anywhere on installing QFS on Solaris 9
(Sparc64) machines? Is that even possible?
