Well, I have done it several times since then. All clean `./launcher rebuild app` without prior failures.

Run on multiple VM’s with the same sizes, RAM and CPU’s.

Sometimes the `chown` complete within _seconds_. Sometimes the `chown` takes _forever_. And the larger installations may be the fast ones.

I’ll experiment some more…

BTW… it may have something to do with running `./launcher cleanup` prior. It seems that `chown` runs very fast after a cleanup, but need more evidences.

EDIT: My VM’s all have 2 CPU’s, 3GB RAM and HDD (not SSD). So this may magnify the impacts of `chown` a bit.
