            Bug ID: 246985
           Summary: `newfs -R` is incomplete
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: goatshit54108 at national.shitposting.agency

`newfs -R` has the purpose of enforcing reproducible output, i.e. to be
independent of time or random seeds. However, it is incomplete, because
sbput(3) writes a fresh time() sample into the `struct fs` variable: see
ffs_sbput() in sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c.
