Did I understand the situation right - the drive worked in 4.7 machine 
but the problem occurred when you moved it to the 4.9 machine?

The above fstab entry doesn't look quite correct to me. The filesystem 
that you mount should usually be contained in a partition (e.g. 
/dev/ad6s1e) not on entire disk (/dev/ad6).

If the drive worked in the 4.7 machine, what was the fstab entry there?

This all seems to hint that /dev/ad6 does not contain an UFS file 
system.

OK, there's a FreeBSD slice on the drive.

That seems to be the same slice as listed by fdisk. Note that is's 
called ad6s1.

What is the output of 'disklabel ad6'?
