a)
lsmod | grep ufs
ufs                    71176  0

b) Same errors without ufstype, ro or both at the same time.
Without ufstype, I get a message in the log warning me about mounting
a UFS filesystem without specifying the type.

I know the partition is good cause I actually use it when I boot into FreeBSD.
