Re: installing linux + solaris

 Anil, 


The short answer is it is possible, according to 
http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/9.html#s9.5


(9.5) Can I install Linux and Solaris on the same drive? 

"Yes. If you use Solaris 10 or greater, it's no problem--as they use 
different partition IDs (0x82 for Linux and 0xBF for Solaris). 
Unfortunately, Solaris 9 and earlier and Linux swap partitions use the 
same ID, 0x82, so be careful." 

It goes on to talk about Grub setup.  Also see 
http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/9.html#s9.24 for mount support for ext3 
under Solaris as well as zfs support (read-only) for Linux. 

As of a couple of years ago, this stuff was very painful, so it was 
easier to use a seperate drive for Solaris, and use a seperate servers & 
nfs mounting if you wanted to share native file systems.  Basically I 
gave up, but it may be better now. 

Best to use Solaris 10 or Opensolaris. 

Randy.
