Why? Was there a problem with fakeroot?
The ext2 and jffs2 targets both use fakeroot, although the generator
tools can do privilege squashing and handle device tables themselves.
Next week I need to add ubifs support, and currently the generator tool
does not have device table support fwiw.
Thanks,
