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
[6d4673c]17 class="directory">/mnt/clfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
[bf8c11f]18 to you.</para>
19
[0f12103]20 <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>CLFS</envar>
[bf8c11f]21 environment variable by running:</para>
22
[6d4673c]23<screen><userinput>export CLFS=/mnt/clfs</userinput></screen>
[bf8c11f]24
[578b4a4d]25 <para>Next, create the mount point and mount the CLFS file system by
[bf8c11f]26 running:</para>
27
[9cb6b64]28<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $CLFS
29mount -v /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $CLFS</userinput></screen>
[bf8c11f]30
31 <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of
[578b4a4d]32 the CLFS partition.</para>
[bf8c11f]33
[b71fa50]34 <para>If using multiple partitions for CLFS (e.g., one for <filename
[bf8c11f]35 class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
36 class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
37
[9cb6b64]38<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $CLFS
39mount -v /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $CLFS
40mkdir -v $CLFS/usr
41mount -v /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $CLFS/usr</userinput></screen>
[bf8c11f]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
[578b4a4d]50 what options are set for the mounted CLFS partition. If
[bf8c11f]51 <option>nosuid</option>, <option>nodev</option>, and/or
52 <option>noatime</option> are set, the partition will need to be
53 remounted.</para>

55 <para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
56 download the packages.</para>
