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.
