This currently only works with numeric UID.GID. In theory in future
we could look up IDs from the guest password file (eg. using Augeas)
and do the right thing, but that's a bunch more work.
For example:
$ ./builder/virt-builder fedora-36 --chown 1.1:/var/tmp
[ 1.0] Downloading:
http://builder.libguestfs.org/fedora-36.xz
[ 1.5] Planning how to build this image
[ 1.5] Uncompressing
[ 3.4] Opening the new disk
[ 7.3] Setting a random seed
[ 7.3] Changing owner of /var/tmp to 1.1
[ 7.3] Setting passwords
virt-builder: Setting random password of root to x8fu6z7QNEdPeZHF
[ 7.8] SELinux relabelling
[ 12.0] Finishing off
Output file: fedora-36.img
Output size: 6.0G
Output format: raw
Total usable space: 6.0G
Free space: 4.7G (79%)
$ guestfish -a fedora-36.img -i ll /var
total 8
