- <title>Mounting the new partition</title>
- <?dbhtml filename="mounting.html" dir="chapter04"?>
- <para>Now that we have created a file system, it is ready for use. All we have
- to do to be able to access the partition (as in reading data from and writing
- data to) is mount it. If it is mounted under /mnt/lfs, this partition can
- be accessed by cd'ing to the /mnt/lfs directory. This book will assume
- that the partition was mounted under /mnt/lfs. It doesn't matter which
- directory is chosen, just make sure you remember what you chose.</para>
- <para>Create the /mnt/lfs directory by running:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p /mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>Now mount the LFS partition by running:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>mount /dev/xxx /mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>Replace <quote>xxx</quote> by the partition's designation (like hda11).</para>
- <para>This directory (/mnt/lfs) is the $LFS variable you have read about
- back in chapter 2. If you were planning to make use of the $LFS environment
- variable, <userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput> has to be executed
- now.</para>
- <para>If you decided to create multiple partitions for LFS (say $LFS and
- $LFS/usr), mount them like this:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p /mnt/lfs &&
- mount /dev/xxx /mnt/lfs &&
- mkdir /mnt/lfs/usr &&
- mount /dev/yyy /mnt/lfs/usr</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>Of course, replace /dev/xxx and /dev/yyy with the appropriate
- partition designations.</para>
