Via Wikpedia:
The PlayStation_3"]PlayStation 3 game console uses UFS2 on HDD. The PlayStation 2 HDD used UFS as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_File_System

Also found this:
We already know that you can mount the encrypted GameOS partition likewise:
"sudo mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdb1 /media/PS3/"

Thanks Greg i am sorry for my lack of knowledge i was sure it was no normal UFS2, but apparently it is. sorry kg356 so apparently ufs2 might work, which means if it is the format of the internal hd and is recognized, then it will be recognized as an external hdd, so long external hdd limitations

[kg356]

I haven't enough free space on my HDD and don't wanna mess my partitions, so I won't install Ubuntu or whatever os. But I got an idea. Maybe linux live cd with the modified kernel and ufsutils would work. I just can't format my usb stick to UFS2, "failed to open disk for writing" I think that appears because I'm runnig Ubuntu on a virtual machine.
And I wonder, is that UFS write support enabled in the kernel, can write data on UFS2.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a modified UFS2 partition.
