The Filesystem was created at Berkeley and called Berkeley Fast Filesystem, 
but commercial Unix-vendors adopted it and called it Unix Filesystem (UFS). 
But it is basically the same filesystem, I understand (Linux uses the same 
driver to read both, though you gotta specify some mount parameters).

Kind regards,

Benjamin
