Sharing swap with Solaris?



Hi,

I'm the happy owner of a Sun Ultra 5, dual-booting (boot disk:a and disk:b)
Solaris 9 and Debian 3.0.

Some fdisk output:

Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 63 sectors, 39702 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1         17354     27512   5119632    2  SunOS root
/dev/hda2  u          0      1041    524664    3  SunOS swap
/dev/hda3             0     39702  20009808    5  Whole disk
/dev/hda4          1041     17354   8221752   83  Linux native
/dev/hda8         27512     39702   6143760    8  SunOS home


This machine has 128 MB RAM, and currently no swap under Linux.
Could I just put /dev/hda2 as swap in my Debian /etc/fstab and swapon
without getting Solaris problems?

(I referenced the Linux+Solaris HOWTO, but it seems horrendously
outdated...)

Regards,
Pieter-Paul
