It would seem ufs.o is included in Debian's kernels, and I can't imagine they'd include that without support for BSD disklabels, so you should be good to go "out of the box" I have: $ grep freebsd /etc/fstab /dev/hda7 /mnt/freebsd ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd 0 0 /dev/hda9 /mnt/freebsd/var ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd 0 0 /dev/hda10 /mnt/freebsd/tmp ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd 0 0 /dev/hda11 /mnt/freebsd/usr ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd 0 0 and everything just works. " dmesg | grep bsd " should output a copy of the bsd disklabel, ala $ dmesg | grep bsd hda3: <bsd: hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 > and file -s on each of those devices should give a good indication of which slice mounts where. write-support for UFS under linux is marked experimental / dangerous (and still is in 2.6.0) so I haven't tried it.
