Another package providing mkfs.ufs on linux. See also: http://packages.qa.debian.org/u/ufsutils.html
The package can be compiled and at least mkfs.ufs works. However, it requires 'operator' in /etc/group (I saw a patch on the Debian site for this in bugzilla). Further, it should be linked against -lncurses instead of -ltermcap.

since libbsd conflicts with glibc's libbsd.a i've rename libbsd to libbsd_fd (freedesktop)
I've been looking for this as well. It compiles, but doesn't work on two boxes.

UFS Support in both kernels, btw.
I cleaned up the ebuild and updated it to the latest version in Debian. Unfortunately, the growfs.ufs utility was never properly ported, the compiler generates some warnings and the build system does not support parallel compilation. However, the package itself is rather useful and the current issues are not serious enough to block inclusion into the main tree. I have committed sys-fs/ufsutils-8.2_p3 to the main tree, with the caveat that growfs.ufs is not built and the build system is passed -j1. Any bugs regarding it will be assigned to the BSD team and handled in a more prompt manner than this one was.
