No guarantee, *seems* to get things right, but may be totally broken or dumb.
If you like to, for example, zero away your /tmp's disk, and then create its
filesystem, but don't want the defaults, this may interest you.  Improvements
welcome.  Etc.  Etc.  Also maybe useful to write a devd rule to format removable
media upon insertion if it isn't UFS.

Thanx,
juli.
