<title>Changing ownership of the LFS partition</title>
<?dbhtml filename="changingowner.html" dir="chapter06"?>

<para>Now we're in chroot, it is a good time to change the ownership of
all files and directories that were installed in chapter 5 back to root.
Run the following commands to do so:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>chown -R 0:0 /</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Depending on the filesystem you created on the LFS partition, you may
have a /lost+found directory. If so, run:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>chown 0:0 /lost+found</userinput></screen></para>

<para>These commands will change the ownership of the root partition to
root. In these commands, 0:0 is used instead of the usual root:root, because
the username root can't be resolved because glibc is not yet installed.</para>
