UFS support (both RO and RW) appears to have been removed from the kernel (at least it is not shown in /proc/filesystems) and attempts to mount using -t ufs do not work:
[dalbert@deforest ~]$ sudo mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hd21
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ufs'
I need to access data saved on a FreeBSD partition (UFS2)...is there any way to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Unfortunately that topic is out of date (last post was 2007). UFS support appears to have been removed entirely (including read-only). I'm trying to find out if there is any way I can access an old FreeBSD UFS partition on a server that I moved to ArchLinux; it used to work, but at some point, even RO access appears to have been removed from Arch.

$ grep UFS_FS /var/abs/core/linux/config*
/var/abs/core/linux/config:CONFIG_UFS_FS=m
/var/abs/core/linux/config:# CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE is not set
/var/abs/core/linux/config.x86_64:CONFIG_UFS_FS=m
/var/abs/core/linux/config.x86_64:# CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE is not set
modprobe ufs?

It turns out I needed to upgrade the kernel; this server was running 4.2.x (from October 2015) which did not include support for the ufs filesystem. upgrading to 4.5.4-1 fixed the problem. Thanks for the responses!
