Hmm, the rustix issues are not from this repo, and I have no idea why the arch test is failing to start the vm. |

I wonder now if this hasn't been the source of some composefs digest mismatches various people were hitting... |
To avoid changes to the /boot and /sysroot mtime due to changes after computing the digest we currently copy the usr mtime to it. However, we're only copying st_mtim_sec, not st_mtim_nsec. This means a change to e.g. /boot on a fs that stores nsec timestamps can still run into this problem. Fix this by copying also the nsec. Signed-off-by: Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
