How can enable it?

Re: UFS fs is disabled?
That's right, UFS creation and resizing isn't actually supported.
These operations are performed from dedicated free/open source tools that GParted uses.
About UFS, it seems that there is no such free/open source Linux software to perform these operations.
*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***

So, Linux cant mount and support USF based discs?
Re: UFS fs is disabled?
Not just mount, the main scope is to resize.
Every tool that is sufficiently stable and meets the licence requirements, is welcome.

The UFS file system is used by Berkeley Unix. It is not native to GNU/Linux.
If you wish to start a project to write UFS utilities for GNU/Linux, then I suggest you spend some time searching the Internet to learn more about UFS and any possible attempts by others.
