BSD: no. Xenix: yes, there is a filesystem. I have toyed with the
idea of writing a filesystem for linux that would understand a BSD ufs
filesystem but the differences are so great between the bsd VFS layer and the
linux VFS layer that it would be easier to hack the minix filesystem to
understand ufs than to try and port the ufs filesystem. I have not decided if
I want to do this or not.
