One of my hosters says they provide a ram based linux recovery

wondering if linux knows how to mount UFS partitions?

That is if the kernel has UFS and BSD labels support compiled into the 
kernel. Be aware that UFS support isn't really 100% stable yet, so they 
marked UFS writing as dangerous in the Linux kernel file systems 
config section. However, UFS fs reading is stable.
