The upgrade can be definitely done. In other words it is not
impossible. But put it down plain and simple, its VERY VERY difficult
and not worth it as upgrading from 4.X to 5.Y wwould not upgrade the
filesystem from UFS to UFS2. UFS2 has better performance, scurity,
fault tolerance ( I can go on blabbering) than UFS.
