How to mount ufs file system under Debian testing?

Question

In order to mount my /dev/sda4 under /mnt/ufs_mount on Debian Testing , i have tried the following commands (it works fine under Debian Jessie):

modprobe ufs
mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda4 /mnt/ufs_mount

and:

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda4 /mnt/ufs_mount

But i get this error:

mount: /dev/sda4 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda4,
   missing codepage or helper program, or other error

   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail or so.

The output of: dmesg | tail :

[ 1136.965142] ufs: ufs_fill_super(): bad magic number
[ 1255.758946] ufs: ufs_fill_super(): bad magic number

[ 2098.946045] ufs: You didn't specify the type of your ufs filesystem

      mount -t ufs -o ufstype=sun|sunx86|44bsd|ufs2|5xbsd|old|hp|nextstep|nextstep-cd|openstep ...

      >>>WARNING<<< Wrong ufstype may corrupt your filesystem, default is ufstype=old

Edit My sources.list:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

And uname -a:

Linux debian 4.6.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.6.4-1 (2016-07-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux

@StephenKitt , On debian jessie , i am able to mount the `/dev/sda4` without any problem. — GAD3R, Sep 09 '16 at 19:02
The message about FS subtype seems indicative. Have you tried using that line for a manual mount attempt? — Shadur, Sep 10 '16 at 16:00

According to mount freebsd slice partition under linux, you may need to specify an offset into the partition.

partx -l should be able to identify the sector offset of the filesystem, which you'd need to multiply by 512. You can pass that as a mount option using -o offset=$((512*sector_offset)) - assuming you're using bash or a similar shell.
