I wasn't disputing that; only whether this feature would work within the Debian GNU/Linux installer. >> I think this could also be an inconvenience for systems where GNU/Linux >> is installed alongside GNU/kFreeBSD. Just to clarify, I meant that Linux dropping read-only ufs support in the installer might be an inconvenience. > I've never run GNU/kFreeBSD, but I'd say it's very unlikely that it > would contain this particular OpenBSD copyright. [...] Certainly not in a kernel image file called /bsd. I think GNU/kFreeBSD would be ufstype=ufs2 rather than 44bsd anyway, so I wonder if mount(8) would fail gracefully in this case. I suspect this os-prober script also wouldn't work on GNU/kFreeBSD for this reason. (There's no ufstype option, so I suspect no way to mount an OpenBSD UFS partition, but I may look into it if I have time).
