11 <title>Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems</title>

17 <para>Various file systems exported by the kernel are used to communicate
18 to and from the kernel itself. These file systems are virtual in that no
19 disk space is used for them. The content of the file systems resides in
20 memory.</para>
21
22 <para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will
23 be mounted:</para>
24
[040521bc]25<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{dev,proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]26
27 <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
28
[040521bc]29<screen><userinput>mount -vt proc proc ${CLFS}/proc
30mount -vt sysfs sysfs ${CLFS}/sys</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]31
[fb40919]32 <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the CLFS system
[3f8be484]33 and start again later, it is important to check that these file systems
34 are mounted again before entering the chroot environment.</para>
35
[27e1607]36 <para>Two device nodes, /dev/console and /dev/null, are required to be
37 present on the filesystem. These are needed by the kernel even before
38 starting Udev early in the boot process, so we create them here:</para>
[3f8be484]39
[040521bc]40<screen><userinput>mknod -m 600 ${CLFS}/dev/console c 5 1
41mknod -m 666 ${CLFS}/dev/null c 1 3</userinput></screen>
[27e1607]42
43 <para>Once the system is complete and booting, the rest of our device
44 nodes are created by the Udev package. Since this package is not
45 available to us right now, we must take other steps to provide device
[fb40919]46 nodes under on the CLFS filesystem. We will use the <quote>bind</quote>
[27e1607]47 option in the mount command to make our host system's /dev structure
[fb40919]48 appear in the new CLFS filesystem:</para>
[27e1607]49
[040521bc]50<screen><userinput>mount -v -o bind /dev ${CLFS}/dev</userinput></screen>
[27e1607]51
52 <para>Additional file systems will soon be mounted from within the chroot
53 environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake mount</quote>
54 for each of these now:</para>
55
[040521bc]56<screen><userinput>mount -f -vt tmpfs tmpfs ${CLFS}/dev/shm
57mount -f -vt devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 devpts ${CLFS}/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
