This is because ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct. Forcing this to be packed solves it. I took a quick look over other on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems. I was able to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.
