[elrepo] Testing kmod-ufs?

Hi All,

I installed the elrepo kmod-ufs driver and I'd like to test it before
hooking up my production external SCSI arrays.

To test it, I wanted to create a file-based virtual file system formatted as
UFS. I found the following command to create the 1 GB file:

dd if=/dev/zero of=ufs-image count=2097152

I then went to format it with the mkfs command, but CentOS 5.5 doesn't have
mkfs.ufs.

Where can I get the UFS progs/tools so I can format this file and test the
kmod-ufs support?

Am I wrong to assume that with this module that I would have full read/write
support for a Solaris UFS file system?

Thanks,

Tim Boyden
