At least SVR4.2MP and 4.4BSD run on LE and BE hardware, and the Linux UFS driver supports both endianesses and about 10 different derivates.. VTOC handling is done by Linux between the block drivers and the filesystem which has advantages by e.g. sharing SysV VTOC support for sysvfs, ufs and vxfs and cannot easily accessed by the filesystem due to layering constraints. > Heh.

That NetWare-Attributes thingy? *shrug* Christoph -- Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.
