Bug Description

Binary package hint: mount

For filesystem type ufs, there is the option ufstype. The manpage lists old, 44bsd, sun, sunx86, hp, nextstep, nextstep-cd and openstep as valid values for the ufstype parameter, but not ufs2. Not only is ufs2 a valid option, it is what you need to use if you want to mount a modern FreeBSD partition.

ufs2 appears not to be a valid option.

pandis@pandis-laptop:~$ sudo mount -t ufs2 /dev/sda1 /media
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ufs2'

This is on Edgy.
