Mount freebsd 5.x disk on linux 2.6.18



I have a FreeBSD 5.x disk that I want to mount on my OpenSUSE Linux
server. I can't format the drive since it has all my mp3's on it. I was
hoping to mount the disk and transfer the data off of it. When I try to
mount it I get cannot access errors.

I've tried using 44bsd, ufs2, 5xbsd, old for the fstype.
Can anybody help me get this mounted correctly?

build:~ # mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdb4 /export
build:~ # ls /export/samba
ls: cannot access /export/samba: Input/output error
build:~ # ls /export/
ls: cannot access /export/ftp: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /export/samba: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /export/other: Input/output error

fdisk info:

build:~ # fdisk /dev/sdb4
This disk has both DOS and BSD magic.
Give the 'b' command to go to BSD mode.

Command (m for help): p
