Yes, Sun carefully crafted the UFS filesystem in Solaris 2.x to be not
quite completely compatible with any other UFS/FFS filesystem. I've seen
similar problems with SunOS 4.1.x writing to a Solaris partition. And also
problems with other USL based UNIX platforms writing to Solaris UFS.

And Solaris doesn't support the old SVR3 filesystem, which most of the
other USL derived systems use as the default for flopppies.

And Solaris < 2.5 doesn't support ACLs...
