Solaris support for ext4/ext3/btrfs

http://serverfault.com – Does anyone know if Solaris 11 (Sparc version) supports mounting ext3/ext4 or even better Btrfs volumes ? Most of the topics I find on the web are quite outdated (2006/2007) and reference old versions of Solaris which were pretty unfriendly to Linux oriented FS. I was hoping that the situation changed, so if you have any info or pointers, I'd really appreciate. Thanks per advance, (HowTos)

How To Convert An ext3/ext4 Root File System To btrfs On Ubuntu 12.10

ext3 and ext4 file systems can be converted to btrfs. For non-root file systems, this can be done online (i.e., without reboot), while for root file systems we need to boot into some kind of rescue system or Live CD.

I'm about to buy a used Sun Sparc machine (Sun Blade 2500 Ultrasparc IIIi 1,28Ghz) in order to use it as a personal development server. Problem is, it is sold without any OS. I would like to install a Solaris system on it, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I think Solaris 10 should work, since it was released the same year than the machine, but I'm not sure.

Is ext4 stable on 11.10? 1 year 11 weeks ago

I have seen that Ubuntu 11.10 is offering Ext4 as default file system. As I have googled some time on ext4 and found that ext3 is quite stable that ext4 as it still has some bugs.

Even the Ubuntu Documentation is referring Ext3. Link

Solaris SPARC speed issue 36 weeks 1 day ago

Hello helpful Unix gurus!

First, I appreciate any help I can get.

I have a product that we have ported (for years now) on Solaris SPARC 7.x OS from 1998 (or around that time I guess) that is compiled to a 32 executable. It has run (with various modifications over the years) on any Solaris SPARC platform (as far as I know).
