| 13 | <para>Various file systems exported by the kernel are used to communicate to and
|
|---|
| 14 | from the kernel itself. These file systems are virtual in that no disk space is
|
|---|
| 15 | used for them. The content of the file systems resides in memory.</para>
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | <para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will be
|
|---|
| 18 | mounted:</para>
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS/{proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | <screen><userinput>mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
|
|---|
| 25 | mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the LFS
|
|---|
| 28 | system and start again later, it is important to check that these file
|
|---|
| 29 | systems are mounted again before entering the chroot
|
|---|
| 30 | environment.</para>
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | <para>Additional file systems will soon be mounted from within the
|
|---|
| 33 | chroot environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake
|
|---|
| 34 | mount</quote> for each of these now:</para>
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <screen><userinput>mount -vft tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev
|
|---|
| 37 | mount -vft tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev/shm
|
|---|
| 38 | mount -vft devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 devpts $LFS/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
