I have a pfSense router, and it stopped working. When I connect a monitor the display stays black. When I remove the internal disk and connect it to an Ubuntu laptop, I don't see it in the file manager. I suppose Gparted would be able to recognize the partition, but this is what I get:

File system unknown

Does this mean the disk is corrupt?

    Try `sudo modprobe ufs`, restart Gparted and see if it is identified now. Background: `pfsense` is BSD based and with this command, you load kernel support for the UFS file system commonly used on that OS family. – Sven Feb 28 '17 at 11:42
  • It turned out that the disk was OK. The monitor stayed black because of the wrong HDMI port - stupid mistake, but better than a hardware problem. Somehow the kernel refused to load and I reinstalled. I now create a backup of the system that I can restore if this happens again. – SPRBRN Mar 04 '17 at 16:02
