I believe you are referring to UMSDOS. UFS is a Unix filesystem. I think
that UMSDOS is probably the best option for cases like this. It will
allow you to assign permissions to files, which is absolutely required for
certain software to work. SSH, fetchmail, and PGP are examples that I can
think of off-hand. If their config files do not have specific
permissions, they'll abort for security purposes.
UMSDOS is an option under the filesystems section of a kernel
configuration. Other than that, I don't know much about it. I used it
ages ago to install an old Slackware distribution on top of a windows
system. It worked fine, and the Linux files were visible in Windows.
