It's most probably ufs2 ( I'd check it right now but I'm writing this
email from a knoppix system that's on the same machine as the target,
which is part of why I'm tryingto solve this problem.)

In fact I'm almost certain that it is UFS2 because 
"""
root at ttyp3[knoppix]# mount -t ufs /dev/hdb2 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2,
       or too many mounted file systems
"""
 is there an updated version of linux mount that can handle ufs2
