the correct answer _is_ UNIX File System.  Note that in current
Berkeley release documentation, "UFS" doesn't denote any single file
system, but rather those file systems which have "UNIX semantics" for
their various operations.

that's why in the current NetBSD sources, FFS and LFS are both "UFS"s,
and none of msdosfs, adosfs, nfs, etc., are.
