+Allow dangerous changes, e.g. clear the seeding flag
+When mounting the new device, btrfs will check whether the seeding flag is set
+when try to open seeding device. If the user clears the seeding flag of the
+seeding device, the new device will not be mountable. Even setting the seeding
+flag back will not fix this problem, because the generation will be changed at
+that time. Clear the seeding flag may damage the new filesystem.
