Would this work for you? Yes. The missing bit is that I was not sure where to add these extraargs. But Alexander's reply already pointed me in the right direction.

The genimage README documents an extraargs option for "Extra arguments passed to mkubifs". Would this work for you?

Thanks for the pointers! Now I see how to customize existing configs. What is the proper way to add new targets? For example in my case -- I want to generate a ubi image out of three separate volumes; one of these is the rootfs volume which is already supported out of the box. How to add new targets for the additional volumes, so that ptxdist "notices" they need to be built?

[ptxdist] Extra args to mkfs.ubifs with new image creation options
Hi all, I am trying to switch from the "legacy" ptxdist image creation options to the new system based on genimage. This is because I want to generate an ubi image out of three separate volumes, and the legacy approach does not support this very well. I am still trying to see how it all works; first issue I have found is, how to specify extra arguments to mkfs.ubifs? In particular I need to add --space-fixup; however I don't see any place where I could configure this with the new system. Any hints?
