| 10 | <para>Various file systems exported by the kernel are used to communicate to and
|
|---|
| 11 | from the kernel itself. These file systems are virtual in that no disk space is
|
|---|
| 12 | used for them. The contents of the file systems resides in memory.</para>

| 13 |
|

| 14 | <para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will be mounted:</para>
|

| 15 |
|

| 16 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
|

| 17 |
|

| 18 | <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
|

| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | <screen><userinput>mount -t proc proc $LFS/proc
|
|---|
| 21 | mount -t sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys</userinput></screen>
|

| 22 |
|

| 23 | <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the LFS
|
|---|
| 24 | system and start again later, it is important to check that these file
|
|---|
| 25 | systems are mounted again before entering the chroot
|
|---|
| 26 | environment.</para>
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <para>Additional file systems will soon be mounted from within the
|
|---|
| 29 | chroot environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake
|
|---|
| 30 | mount</quote> for each of these now:</para>
|

| 31 |
|

| 32 | <screen><userinput>mount -f -t tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev
|
|---|
| 33 | mount -f -t tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev/shm
