11 <title>Mounting the New Partition</title>
12
13 <para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
14 be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
15 mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
16 assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
17 class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
18 to you.</para>
19
20 <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar>
21 environment variable by running:</para>
22
23<screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
24
25 <para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
26 running:</para>
27
28<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
29mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
30
31 <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of
32 the LFS partition.</para>
33
34 <para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
35 class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
36 class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
37
38<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
39mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS
40mkdir $LFS/usr
41mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
42
43 <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and
44 <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
45 names.</para>
46
47 <para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions
48 that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev, or noatime options).
49 Run the <command>mount</command> command without any parameters to see
50 what options are set for the mounted LFS partition. If
51 <option>nosuid</option>, <option>nodev</option>, and/or
52 <option>noatime</option> are set, the partition will need to be
53 remounted.</para>
54
55 <para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
56 download the packages.</para>
