We do a "chown -R 0:0" on all files in the root filesystem, before taking into account device tables. So I don't see how an ownership on the build machine can leak into the generated root filesystem. See fs/common.mk to see where's it's done. Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
