Is r/w to a UFS partition using 'guestmount' still an impossibility? From everything I've found, it seems to be something that is not possible at the moment. I was just wondering if that has changed or if there are plans to change that?

Here is the issue I'm experiencing:

~# guestmount --rw -a ${disk_path}/${disk_name} -m /dev/sda4 /tmp/freebsd-master libguestfs: error: mount_options: /dev/vda4 on /: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vda4,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
guestmount: '/dev/sda4' could not be mounted. Did you mean one of these?
        /dev/sda4 (ufs)

I have the output from '-- guestmount --rw -a ${disk_path}/${disk_name} --trace --verbose -m /dev/sda4 /tmp/freebsd-master' here: http://pastebin.com/NT2b2HM9

This appears to be a similar problem to this one, in which I gathered that r/w to ufs is not possible:

I get the feeling that this is something I'd need to roll my own kernel for, or perhaps just the module? If anyone could point me in the right direction, that'd be awesome. My apologies for the noise if this is the wrong list for this type of question.
