12	UFS is a file system widely used in different operating systems.
13	The problem are differences among implementations. Features of
14	some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize
15	type of ufs automatically. That's why user must specify type of
16	ufs manually by mount option ufstype. Possible values are:
