Gah! Well spotted!
Pity we don't have a generic FUSE module to run -all- filesystems in
userspace (as/when needed), so we could simply toggle 'experimental'
features on easily.
Martin, it looks like you'll have to recompile your kernel first sorry.
* apt-get install linux-source kernel-package
* find appropriate kernel-package man page
* enable UFS write option in kernel config
(although oldconfig/ old-config might need to be spotted)
* run kernel-package build + install command(s)
* reboot, choosing custom kernel
* re-run your mount command.
It's been too long since I've done it (not so much need to custom
kernel compile these days), so I can't really tell you the exact steps
sorry, but I found it pretty easy, "back in the day".
Good luck,
Zenaan
