Mount options for ufs
ufstype=value
UFS is a filesystem widely used in different operating
systems. The problem are differences among implementations. Features
of some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize the
type of ufs automatically. That's why the user must specify the type
of ufs by mount option. Pos‐
sible values are:
old Old format of ufs, this is the default, read
only. (Don't forget to give the -r option.)
44bsd For filesystems created by a BSD-like system
(NetBSD,FreeBSD,OpenBSD).
ufs2 Used in FreeBSD 5.x supported as read-write.
5xbsd Synonym for ufs2.
sun For filesystems created by SunOS or Solaris on Sparc.
sunx86 For filesystems created by Solaris on x86.
hp For filesystems created by HP-UX, read-only.
nextstep
For filesystems created by NeXTStep (on NeXT
station) (currently read only).
nextstep-cd
For NextStep CDROMs (block_size == 2048), read-only.
openstep
For filesystems created by OpenStep (currently
read only). The same filesystem type is also used by Mac OS X.
