This mode uses Linux user namespaces to allow unprivileged use of chroot and
creation of files that appear to be owned by the superuser inside the unshared
namespace. A directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong
ownership information. Choose to create a tarball instead. This mode requires
the sysctl C<kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone> being set to C<1>. B<SETTING

namespace. A tarball created in this mode should be bit-by-bit identical to a
tarball created with the B<root> mode. This mode requires the sysctl

A directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong ownership
information. For correct ownership information, the directory must be accessed
from a user namespace with the right subuid/subgid offset, like so:
$ lxc-usernsexec -- lxc-unshare -s 'MOUNT|PID|UTSNAME|IPC' -- \
> /usr/sbin/chroot ./debian-rootfs /bin/bash
Or without LXC:
$ mmdebstrap --unshare-helper /usr/sbin/chroot ./debian-rootfs /bin/bash
Or, if you don't mind using superuser privileges and have systemd-nspawn
available and you know your subuid/subgid offset (100000 in this example):
$ sudo systemd-nspawn --private-users=100000 \
> --directory=./debian-rootfs /bin/bash
=item B<fakeroot>, B<fakechroot>
This mode will exec B<mmdebstrap> again under C<fakechroot fakeroot>. A
