Yup! And from dabbling around the various BSDs a while ago, I can second that. Even the various BSDs can't even read each other's partitions properly! Things used to be better earlier. That time the 44bsd (I think that's the option) used to work for mounting all the BSD partitions read-write. But after a while they all began making enhancements to UFS and so there's many variants now. Heck, the only Unix like file system that I found can actually be shared between all the BSDs is ext2! :) I don't know if the default CentOS kernel has UFS support. A place I would check is the kernel config file. That's usually store in /boot, and I'd check if that file has any UFS options turned on. Hope this helps somehow ...
