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

13    <note os="a">
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>
19    </note>

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
29<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{dev,proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
30
31  <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
32
33<screen><userinput>mount -vt proc proc ${CLFS}/proc
34mount -vt sysfs sysfs ${CLFS}/sys</userinput></screen>
35
36  <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the CLFS system
37  and start again later, it is important to check that these file systems
38  are mounted again before entering the chroot environment.</para>
39
40  <para>Two device nodes, /dev/console and /dev/null, are required to be
41  present on the filesystem.  These are needed by the kernel even before
42  starting Eudev early in the boot process, so we create them here:</para>
43
44<screen><userinput>mknod -m 600 ${CLFS}/dev/console c 5 1
45mknod -m 666 ${CLFS}/dev/null c 1 3</userinput></screen>
46
47  <para>Once the system is complete and booting, the rest of our device
48  nodes are created by Udev, part of Systemd.  Since this package is not
49  available to us right now, we must take other steps to provide device
50  nodes under on the CLFS filesystem.  We will use the <quote>bind</quote>
51  option in the mount command to make our host system's /dev structure
52  appear in the new CLFS filesystem:</para>
53
54<screen><userinput>mount -v -o bind /dev ${CLFS}/dev</userinput></screen>
55
56  <para>Additional file systems will soon be mounted from within the chroot
57  environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake mount</quote>
58  for each of these now:</para>
59
60<screen><userinput>if [ -h ${CLFS}/dev/shm ]; then
61  link=$(readlink ${CLFS}/dev/shm)
62  mkdir -p ${CLFS}/$link
63  mount -f -vt tmpfs shm ${CLFS}/$link
64  unset link
65else
66  mount -f -vt tmpfs shm ${CLFS}/dev/shm
67fi
68mount -f -vt devpts -o gid=&gid-tty;,mode=620 devpts ${CLFS}/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
