I've had a couple of inquiries about the workflow I've been using, so I've added a brief set of steps to my Wiki page at https://wiki.freebsd.org/EdMaste/BuildVM . With -DNO_ROOT for the install targets an mtree file named METALOG file is created at the top of DESTDIR. Files are installed owned by the user, without special flags. Makefs reads the METALOG file and applies the desired ownership, permissions and flags in the generated file system. Then mkimg creates an image with a GPT partition table, the UFS filesystem created by makefs, and the various boot loader bits for legacy and UEFI boot. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
