[Voyage-linux] Re: SDK - Customize

Hi All

i tried to untar the voyage-current.tar.bz2 that was created on my 
office machine with the --numeric-owner option, but still had the same 
permission problems on the untarred files. i checked first the chroot 
dir and there were the permissions right. but then i saw that the bzip 
is created from the binary/live/filesystem.dir directory and there the 
permissions are wrong. i compared it with the files created on my laptop 
that worked fine and saw that there all the permissions were like they 
should.

so there has to be a difference between both of them. i have installed 
ubuntu oneiric on both of the machines, and the live-build package is 
the same (2.0.12-2. i had to use an older version as the one shipped 
with the current version of ubuntu is already from the 3.0 tree).

finally i got the idea what could be the problem/difference. on both 
machines i build the voyage in my homedir, but in contrast to my home 
machine where the whole system is on a encrypted partition, on my work 
machine only the home-dir is encrypted (with the default ubuntu 
configuration/installation). so i move the whole stuff to /alix and that 
solved the problem, the image/chroot/filesytem.dir is created just right 
and the system runs fine on an alix board.

i suppose it is a problem of the "ecryptfs" filesystem used by ubuntu to 
encrypt the homedir. or could the "relatime" mount option be the cause 
of the problem?

i just wanted to write that down so that if in the future somebody runs 
into the same problem :-)
