14      <para>The commands in the remainder of the book should be run as
15      the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user. Check
16      that ${CLFS} is set in the
17      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user&rsquo;s environment
18       before proceeding.</para>

21  <para>Various file systems exported by the kernel are used to communicate
22  to and from the kernel itself. These file systems are virtual in that no
23  disk space is used for them. The content of the file systems resides in
24  memory.</para>
25
26  <para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will
27  be mounted:</para>
28
[799de33]29<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{dev,proc,run,sys}</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]30
[1d396c4]31  <para>Two device nodes, <filename class="devicefile">/dev/console</filename>
32  and <filename class="devicefile">/dev/null</filename>, are required to be
[799de33]33  present on the file system. These are needed by the kernel even before
[1d396c4]34  starting Udev early in the boot process, so we create them here:</para>
[3f8be484]35
[040521bc]36<screen><userinput>mknod -m 600 ${CLFS}/dev/console c 5 1
37mknod -m 666 ${CLFS}/dev/null c 1 3</userinput></screen>
[27e1607]38
39  <para>Once the system is complete and booting, the rest of our device
[1d396c4]40  nodes will be created by the kernel's
41  <systemitem class="filesystem">devtmpfs</systemitem> file system. For now
42  though, we will just use the <quote>bind</quote> option in the mount command
[799de33]43  to make our host system's <filename class="directory">/dev</filename> structure appear in the new CLFS file system:</para>
[27e1607]44
[040521bc]45<screen><userinput>mount -v -o bind /dev ${CLFS}/dev</userinput></screen>
[27e1607]46
[799de33]47  <para>Now mount the remaining file systems:</para>
48
49<screen><userinput>mount -vt devpts -o gid=&gid-tty;,mode=620 devpts ${CLFS}/dev/pts
50mount -vt proc proc ${CLFS}/proc
51mount -vt tmpfs tmpfs ${CLFS}/run
52mount -vt sysfs sysfs ${CLFS}/sys</userinput></screen>
53
54  <para>On some host systems, <filename class="directory">/dev/shm</filename>
55  is a symbolic link to <filename class="directory">/run/shm</filename>.
56  If it is, create a directory in <filename class="directory">/run</filename>:</para>
57
58<screen><userinput>[ -h ${CLFS}/dev/shm ] &amp;&amp; mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/$(readlink ${CLFS}/dev/shm)</userinput></screen>
59
60  <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the CLFS system
61  and start again later, it is important to check that these file systems
62  are mounted again before entering the chroot environment.</para>
