Package: mount Version: 2.17.2-9 Severity: normal Tags: patch Since Linux 2.6.5, the mount command can mount UFS2/FFSv2 ( both names are correct ) filesystems. See this URL for details: http://ufs-linux.sourceforge.net/ufs2/README.txt I tested UFS2/FFSv2 support with a NetBSD FFSv2 partition and it works flawlessly. However the man page hat not been updated yet to reflect this.
I propose to add the following to the man page: ..B ufs2 For filesystems of type UFS2/FFSv2, created by a BSD-like system.
