Note: The shared pool needs to reside on a whole physical disk or on a primary fdisk partition, Unless something changed since I last checked, Solaris' support for Logical Partitions are... not quite there yet. P.S. I blogged about my setup (Linux + Solaris with a Shared ZFS pool) here http://initialprogramload.blogspot.com/search?q=zfs-fuse+linux ... However this was a long time ago and I don't know whether the statement about Grub ZFS support in point 3 is still true. Aparently some bugs pertaining to time stomping between ubuntu and solaris has been fixed, so you may not need to do step 4. An Alternative to step 4 is to run this in Solaris: pfexec /usr/sbin/rtc -z UTC In addition, at point nr 7, use "bootadm list-menu" to find out where Solaris has decided to save the grub menu.lst file. -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
