Cool! That's why I said "unless things have changed." :-) I looked into it several months ago, at least. Things do change rather quickly where Linux is concerned, perhaps a little less rapidly with the *BSD's. I bet there are still loads of web references out there that have not been updated to reflect that you can read from UFS partitions under Linux, presuming you're using a recent enough kernel.
