Hello, Xin.

XL> makefs?
 It is second step. Here are several problems:

  (1) makefs doesn't create any partition tables / labels.
  (2) makefs could not "inject" its image into file with partition
  tables / labels.

makefs is good to create FS and make permission fixups (by mtree
file,generated with root-less install) in one step, but it doesn't
solve whole problem of full disk image creation, as far as I
understand.
