| 12 |
|

| 13 | <para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
|
|---|
| 14 | be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
|
|---|
| 15 | mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
|
|---|
| 16 | assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
|
|---|
| 17 | class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
|
|---|
| 18 | to you.</para>
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar>
|
|---|
| 21 | environment variable by running:</para>
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <screen role="nodump"><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
|
|---|
| 26 | running:</para>
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
|
|---|
| 29 | mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable><xxx></replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | <para>Replace <replaceable><xxx></replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
|
|---|
| 32 | partition.</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
|
|---|
| 35 | class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
|
|---|
| 36 | class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | <screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
|
|---|
| 39 | mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable><xxx></replaceable> $LFS
|
|---|
| 40 | mkdir -v $LFS/usr
|
|---|
| 41 | mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable><yyy></replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | <para>Replace <replaceable><xxx></replaceable> and
|
|---|
| 44 | <replaceable><yyy></replaceable> with the appropriate partition
|
|---|
| 45 | names.</para>
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | <para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions that are
|
|---|
| 48 | too restrictive (such as the <option>nosuid</option> or
|
|---|
| 49 | <option>nodev</option> options). Run the <command>mount</command> command
|
|---|
| 50 | without any parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
|
|---|
| 51 | partition. If <option>nosuid</option> and/or <option>nodev</option> are set,
|
|---|
| 52 | the partition will need to be remounted.</para>
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | <para>If you are using a <systemitem
|
|---|
| 55 | class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition, ensure that it is enabled
|
|---|
| 56 | using the <command>swapon</command> command:</para>
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | <screen role="nodump"><userinput>/sbin/swapon -v /dev/<replaceable><zzz></replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | <para>Replace <replaceable><zzz></replaceable> with the name of the
|
|---|
| 61 | <systemitem class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition.</para>
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | <para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
|
|---|
| 64 | download the packages.</para>
