Hi!
I'm trying to use file(1) to detect file system type on partitions, and
so far it's working for any file system I've cared to try (the usual MS
and Linux list) *except* UFS2.
Detecting UFS1 works, though much more verbosely than it needs to be,
but UFS2 isn't detected at all.
I'd like to ask someone familiar with UFS2 to take a quick peak and add
the appropriate rules to the file(1) magic database, if anyone's interested.
At the very least, I need someone to commit this patch:

I don't know if it's correct (the offset seems a bit high...), but it
works for me :)
