[Bug 268665] Re: mount cannot mount ufs / ffs

 

I notice dmesg is reporting this as an OpenBSD partition ("sdb4:
<openbsd: >"). To mount an OpenBSD partition you need to use the
ufstype=44bsd. For example:

mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/sdb4 $HOME/mnt

The above was tested on Linux 4.3.3-2-ARCH. I don't have an Ubuntu
machine to test this on.
