Precedence: bulk

: The big buggaboo is the volume label and directory entry structure
: differences that SunOS has.  The zeroed inode number as a tag for an
: empty file system block is "different" in the directory entries
: themselves.

Where might I find out about these differences?

: If you were trying to write a FS for a Solaris box instead, that'd be
: a much bigger pain (it'd have to be kernel preeemption safe and Sun
: did it the wrong way, IMO).

Since I don't need to worry about writing to a cd with the setup I
have, I can punt on this :-).
