Mounting UFS file systems in Ubuntu should be straight forward. Follow these simple steps to make sure that your are mounting your FreeNAS disks properly in Ubuntu:

Load the UFS module (or make sure its loaded)

sudo modprobe ufs

Make a directory where to mount the files on

mkdir ~/ufs_mount

To find out which device holds your UFS file system use the command fdisk -l, note which device you intend to mount.

Mount the file system to the directory your previously created

sudo mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdb1 /home/<your_username>/ufs_mount

(where: sdb1 is the UFS partition you want to mount and <your_username> is the your current username where the intended mounting point was created previously.

Hi everybody! I'm working as SharePoint developer for a small consulting firm in Malmö, Sweden. I have a background as an informatics student and have done some light developing in web development, both in ASP.NET and PHP/MySQL. I like programming with C#.NET, jQuery, HTML and more typical SharePoint relative techniques. At home I've just begun using Ubuntu instead of my old FreeNAS 7.2 machine.

Thank you! I think I've missed a step before though, as in "adding" the disk to the system somehow? Because the command seems to mount a partion, and I haven't yet mounted the disk.codemount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so

try with sudo, I fixed the request in the comment (without sudo does not output anything)

cat /proc/partitions will also do, again add that to the question it self instead of as a comment here

It worked with another UFS disk I have! Now I have to figure out how to save the other one. Thank you Bruno Pereira for your help!

Will this auto-mount the drive on any reboots?
