In MS-DOS, the usage of the system attribute roughly corresponds to the typical use of the SF_IMMUTABLE attribute in Unix. I think changing the current semantics would be an improvement as far as compatibility goes, and there should be few POLA issues with it. Fix: In /sys/msdosfs; diff -u4 How-To-Repeat: not relevant.
State Changed From-To: open->analyzed Interesting idea. Could you please submit it to freebsd-fs ?

Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-fs->fs Use short names for mailing list to make searches using the web query form work with the shown responsible. This also makes open PR show up in the summery mail.
Responsible Changed From-To: fs->freebsd-bugs The -fs list has not expressed any interest.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->trhodes Hey Tom, you as a maintainer of msdosfs (afair) can you have a look at the ticket?
Ken, I think your recent patches to update file flags probably obsoletes this PR? -- John Baldwin
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
Assume John Baldwin is right and this is OBE.
