Solaris (BSDish) uses UFS as well.

UFS stands for "UNIX File System" but that's kind of a misnomer; not 
many UNIX's use UFS. It's -a- BSD filesystem, but there are plenty of 
others. "BSD" is a very (VERY) large family of UNIX's, all of which 
are about a similar to each other as Windows 3.1 is to Windows 98SE.

UFS in OS X stems from NeXTStep and, IIRC, is provided for backwards 
compatibilities mostly for developers (that's how it was explained to 
me at WWDC a couple of years ago).

ext2 is the filesystem used (primarily) by Linux OS's. There is no 
single, universal filesystem used by UNIX OS's. There's pretty much a 
unique FS for every UNIX out there.
