https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D282832 --- Comment #1 from Pat Maddox <pat@patmaddox.com> --- I see there is a comment [1] about using a fixed seed: /* * Use a fixed seed to provide reproducible pseudo-random numbers f= or * on-disk structures when needed (e.g., GUIDs, ZAP hash salts). */ When are these needed to be reproducible? Should makefs take another flag to produce random GUIDs, or have a note in = the man page that it will always produce the same GUID? I spent quite a bit of = time trying to load two images into bhyve before realizing it was a guid conflic= t. I don't think it should be necessary to import the zpool and reguid it, so = I'd be in favor of a flag if there's some reason the default should always prod= uce the same GUID.
