### Producing bit-identical images
By default, images produced by `mkdwarfs` will not be identical
over multiple runs. There are two reasons for this:
- A creation timestamp is embedded in the image.
- The `nilsimsa` ordering algorithm is not deterministic by
default.
over multiple runs. This is due to time stamps that are being added
to the file system image.
In order to produce bit-identical images, you need to pass
`--no-create-timestamp` and set `--order` to `path` or `similarity`.
You could also set `--order=none` and pass in files explicitly
using `--input-list`.
`--no-create-timestamp` and either `--no-history-timestamps` or
`--no-history`.
