| 10 | <para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
|
|---|
| 11 | be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
|
|---|
| 12 | mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
|
|---|
| 13 | assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
|
|---|
| 14 | class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
|
|---|
| 15 | to you.</para>
|

| 16 |
|

| 17 | <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar>
|
|---|
| 18 | environment variable by running:</para>
|

| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | <screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
|
|---|
| 23 | running:</para>
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
|
|---|
| 26 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
|
|---|
| 29 | partition.</para>
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | <para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
|
|---|
| 32 | class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
|
|---|
| 33 | class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
|
|---|
| 36 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS
|
|---|
| 37 | mkdir $LFS/usr
|
|---|
| 38 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and
|
|---|
| 41 | <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
|
|---|
| 42 | names.</para>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions
|
|---|
| 45 | that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev, or noatime
|
|---|
| 46 | options). Run the <command>mount</command> command without any
|
|---|
| 47 | parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
|
|---|
| 48 | partition. If <parameter>nosuid</parameter>, <parameter>nodev</parameter>,
|
|---|
| 49 | and/or <parameter>noatime</parameter> are set, the partition will need
|
|---|
| 50 | to be remounted.</para>
