+USING UFS
+=========
+
+mount -t ufs -o ufstype=type_of_ufs device dir
+
+
+UFS OPTIONS
+===========
+
+ufstype=type_of_ufs
+	UFS is a file system widely used in different operating systems.
+	The problem are differencies among implementations. Features of
+	some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize
+	type of ufs automatically. That's why user must specify type of 
+	ufs manually by mount option ufstype. Possible values are:
+
+	old	old format of ufs
+		default value, supported os read-only
+
+	44bsd	used in FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
+		supported os read-write
+
+	sun	used in SunOS (Solaris)
+		supported as read-write
+
+	sunx86	used in SunOS for Intel (Solarisx86)
+		supported as read-write
+
+	nextstep
+		used in NextStep
+		supported as read-only
+
+	openstep
+		used in OpenStep
+		supported as read-only
+
+
+POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
+=================
+
+There is still bug in reallocation of fragment, in file fs/ufs/balloc.c, 
+line 364. But it seem working on current buffer cache configuration.
