#2506 closed task (fixed)

Why are we using "mkdir -p" when creating $LFS/{dev,proc,sys}

Description

6.2. Preparing Virtual Kernel File Systems

The mkdir "-p" option creates parent directories, which in this case is $LFS, and $LFS should already exist by chapter 6.

Removing this -p option would help show that something is not right.

It would show two problems. Either the $LFS directory does not exist, or the $LFS environment variable does not exist (assuming these directories exist on the host).

I'm inclined to close this as wontfix, but will leave it for Matt to address.

Moving to milestone 6.6 for now.
