Hi All,

While following the LFS book, I noticed that the binaries generated by the e2fsprogs (Section 6.28) package *get the mount point of the chroot filesystem* embedded into them - ie a path from the host. Running "strings" on any of the binaries showed it clearly.

This had me worried for a while, thinking I had done something wrong. Eventually I realized it was _only_ these programs, and that those strings disappeared if I ran "strip" on the executables.

Does this happen to other people too? If so, maybe it would be worth mentioning in the book?

Regards,
Simon
