I did the read-only part, ie. you can mount UFS file system read-only created on system with different byte order than yours. Read-write support is much harder. Also the NetBSD's way of doing it is very intrusive to the UFS source - number of changes is a scary. I was trying to do it a bit differently (on lower level), which went nice for read-only, but may be harder for read-write. The code was never committed. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd_at_FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil? Yes, I Am!
