Unix Filesystem (`ufs', `xfs', or `efs')
========================================

   The "ufs" (`type:=ufs') filesystem type provides access to the
system's standard disk filesystem--usually a derivative of the Berkeley
Fast Filesystem.

The following option must be specified:

`dev'
     the block special device to be mounted.

   A UFS entry might be:

     jsp   host==charm;type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/sd0d;sublink:=jsp

   UFS is the default Unix disk-based file system, which Am-utils picks
up during the autoconfiguration phase.  Some systems have more than one
type, such as IRIX, that comes with EFS (Extent File System) and XFS
(Extended File System).  In those cases, you may explicitly set the file
system type, by using entries such:

     ez1   type:=efs;dev:=/dev/xd0a
     ez2   type:=xfs;dev:=/dev/sd3c
