Description matt 2012-09-29 16:16:56 UTC
Description of problem:
Cannot mount UFS filesystems due to lack of ufs kernel module.   The mount manpage claims to still support ufs, however there is no ufs.ko in any of the kernels.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.4-1.fc17.x86_64
3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64
3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64


How reproducible:
Install Fedora 17.  Try to mount FreeBSD or other UFS partition.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  mount -tufs -o ufstype=ufs2,ro /dev/sdg1 /mnt/test1
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error message:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ufs'

Expected results:
Successful mount

Additional info:
# modprobe ufs
FATAL: Module ufs not found.


# ls -l /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/ufs

It's in the kernel-modules-extra subpackage.  Install that.
