Yes , it does.

running:
mount -r -o loop,ufstype=old -t ufs /test/disk-image /loopDir

the kernel logs emits:
ufs_read_super: bad magic number

perhaps is this mkufs problem (or because
of running it in conjunction with loop device, which is less likely).


The mkufs is part of an old package,

the patch of Evgeniy is quite
new (may 2006).

Doesn't the kernel ('dmesg | tail') say anything?
