Access UFS File System under Linux

Unix file system (UFS) is widely used in many Unix systems, for example, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and HP-UX. There are times that we need to access UFS under Linux systems. The following command allows us to mount UFS2 for read-only (ro) under Linux systems:

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,ro /dev/sdXY /mnt/path

Write support for UFS is not compiled into Linux kernels by default. One needs to properly configure and compile kernels for write support.
