| 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 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{dev,proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <screen><userinput>mount -vt proc proc ${CLFS}/proc
|
|---|
| 30 | mount -vt sysfs sysfs ${CLFS}/sys</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the CLFS system
|
|---|
| 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 |
|
|---|
| 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 Eudev early in the boot process, so we create them here:</para>
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | <screen><userinput>mknod -m 600 ${CLFS}/dev/console c 5 1
|
|---|
| 41 | mknod -m 666 ${CLFS}/dev/null c 1 3</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | <para>Once the system is complete and booting, the rest of our device
|
|---|
| 44 | nodes are created by the Eudev package. Since this package is not
|
|---|
| 45 | available to us right now, we must take other steps to provide device
|
|---|
| 46 | nodes under on the CLFS filesystem. We will use the <quote>bind</quote>
|
|---|
| 47 | option in the mount command to make our host system's /dev structure
|
|---|
| 48 | appear in the new CLFS filesystem:</para>
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | <screen><userinput>mount -v -o bind /dev ${CLFS}/dev</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 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 |
|
|---|
| 56 | <screen><userinput>mount -f -vt tmpfs tmpfs ${CLFS}/dev/shm
|
|---|
| 57 | mount -f -vt devpts -o gid=&gid-tty;,mode=620 devpts ${CLFS}/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
