Installing different release of Solaris - effects on over file systems?

Howdy,

We have an 18Gb. disk installed in a 280R containing only user data.
This disk (not the root volume) was partitioned and file systems created
using Solaris 8. If we were to upgrade the OS on the 280R to Solaris 9 -
not involving this disk in the install process for any file systems such
as /var or whatever, would there be any filesystem related issues after
remounting the file systems on this disk under the new operating system?
Problems accessing the data? Unix 'format' command problems? etc

In other words, can Solaris 9 access correctly file systems created
under Solaris 8?

Just curious and paranoid :)

Thanks in advance.

Scotty
