        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
                ^^^^^^^                     ^^^^^^^^^

        sun     used in SunOS (Solaris)
                supported as read-write


so you should probably mount it with ufstype=sun
