    13 <para>Now that we have a blank partition, we can create a file system on it.
    14 Most widely used in the Linux world is the second extended file system (ext2),
    15 but with the high-capacity hard disks of today the so-called journaling file
    16 systems are becoming increasingly popular. Here we will create an ext2 file
    17 system, but build instructions for other file systems can be found at
    18 <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
    19 
    20 <para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition run the following:</para>
    21 
    22 <screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
    23 
    24 <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the name of the LFS partition
    25 (something like <filename>hda5</filename>).</para>
    26 
    27 <para>If you created a (new) swap partition you need to initialize it as a
    28 swap partition too (also known as formatting, like you did above with
    29 <command>mke2fs</command>) by running:</para>
    30 
    31 <screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
    32 
    33 <para>Replace <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the name of the swap
    34 partition.</para>

    12 <!--
    13 <para>In order to build our new Linux system, we will need some space:
    14 an empty disk partition. If you don't have a free partition, and no room
    15 on any of your hard disks to make one, then you could build LFS on the
    16 same partition as the one on which your current distribution is installed.
    17 This procedure is not recommended for your first LFS install, but if you
    18 are short on disk space, and you feel brave, take a look at the hint at
    19 <ulink url="&hints-root;lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt"/>.</para>
    20 
    21 <para>For a minimal system you will need a partition of around 1.3 GB.
    22 This is enough to store all the source tarballs and compile all the packages.
    23 But if you intend to use the LFS system as your primary Linux system, you
    24 will probably want to install additional software, and will need more space
    25 than this, probably around 2 or 3 GB.</para>
    26 
    27 <para>As we almost never have enough RAM in our box, it is a good idea to
    28 use a small disk partition as swap space - this space is used by the kernel
    29 to store seldom-used data to make room in memory for more urgent stuff.
    30 The swap partition for your LFS system can be the same one as for your host
    31 system, so you won't have to create another if your host system already uses
    32 a swap partition.</para>
    33 
    34 <para>Start a disk partitioning program such as <command>cfdisk</command>
    35 or <command>fdisk</command> with an argument naming the hard disk upon
    36 which the new partition must be created - for example
    37 <filename>/dev/hda</filename> for the primary IDE disk. Create a Linux native
    38 partition and a swap partition, if needed. Please refer to the man pages of
    39 <command>cfdisk</command> or <command>fdisk</command> if you don't yet
    40 know how to use the programs.</para>
    41 
    42 <para>Remember the designation of your new partition - something like
    43 <filename>hda5</filename>. This book will refer to it as the LFS partition.
    44 If you (now) also have a swap partition, remember its designation too. These
    45 names will later be needed for the <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> file.</para>

    13 <para>Now that we've created a file system, we want to be able to access
    14 the partition. For that, we need to mount it, and have to choose a mount
    15 point. In this book we assume that the file system is mounted under
    16 <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but it doesn't matter what directory
    17 you choose.</para>
    18 
    19 <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the LFS environment variable
    20 by running:</para>
    21 
    22 <screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
    23 
    24 <para>Now create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by running:</para>
    25 
    26 <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
    27 mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
    28 
    29 <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
    30 partition.</para>
    31 
    32 <para>If you have decided to use multiple partitions for LFS (say one for
    33 <filename class="directory">/</filename> and another for
    34 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them like this:</para>
    35 
    36 <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
    37 mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS
    38 mkdir $LFS/usr
    39 mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
    40 
    41 <para>Of course, replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and
    42 <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition names.</para>
    43 
    44 <para>You should also ensure that this new partition is not mounted with
    45 permissions that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev or noatime
    46 options). You can run the <command>mount</command> command without any
    47 parameters to see with what options the LFS partition is mounted. If
    48 you see nosuid, nodev or noatime, you will need to remount it.</para>

    50 <para>Now that we've made ourselves a place to work in, we're ready to download
    51 the packages.</para>
