| mount -t ufs -o ufstype=type_of_ufs device dir
| ufstype=type_of_ufs
|         UFS is a file system widely used in different operating systems.
|         The problem are differencies among implementations. Features of
|         some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize
|         type of ufs automatically. That's why user must specify type of
|         ufs manually by mount option ufstype. Possible values are:
| 
|         44bsd   used in FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
|                 supported os read-write
| 
| POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
| =================
| 
| There is still bug in reallocation of fragment, in file fs/ufs/balloc.c,
| line 364. But it seem working on current buffer cache configuration.
