  Modified:    sys/ufs/ffs  ffs_vfsops.c
  Log:
  Submitted by: Archie and me.
  
  We encountered an interesting situation where the superblock for
  a file system got written to disk with the "fs_fmod" flag set to
  one. It appears that this flag is normally supposed to be cleared
  during ffs_sync(), but we experienced a crash, or some other weird
  occurrence that left it on the disk set to 1.
  
  Later this partition was mounted read-only... and the fs_fmod
  field was never cleared, causing ffs_sync() to panic "rofs mod"
  when trying to unmount that filesystem (ffs_vfsops.c: line 790).
  
  fix:
  set this bit to 0 when you load the superblock from disk.
  (see more complete mail on this to hackers)
