  9. <title>Mounting the New Partition</title>
  10. <para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
  11. be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
  12. mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
  13. assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
  14. class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
  15. to you.</para>
  16. <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar>
  17. environment variable by running:</para>
  18. <screen role="nodump"><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
  19. <para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
  20. running:</para>
  21. <screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
  22. mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
  23. <para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
  24. partition.</para>
  25. <para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
  26. class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
  27. class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
  28. <screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
  29. mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> $LFS
  30. mkdir -v $LFS/usr
  31. mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;yyy&gt;</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
  32. <para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> and
  33. <replaceable>&lt;yyy&gt;</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
  34. names.</para>
  35. <para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions that are
  36. too restrictive (such as the <option>nosuid</option> or
  37. <option>nodev</option> options). Run the <command>mount</command> command
  38. without any parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
  39. partition. If <option>nosuid</option>, <option>nodev</option>, and/or
  40. <option>noatime</option> are set, the partition will need to be
  41. remounted.</para>
  42. <para>If you are using a <systemitem
  43. class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition, ensure that it is enabled
  44. using the <command>swapon</command> command:</para>
  45. <screen role="nodump"><userinput>/sbin/swapon -v /dev/<replaceable>&lt;zzz&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>
  46. <para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;zzz&gt;</replaceable> with the name of the
  47. <systemitem class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition.</para>
  48. <para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
  49. download the packages.</para>
