- <title>Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems</title>
 
- <?dbhtml filename="kernfs.html"?>
 
- <para>Various file systems exported by the kernel are used to communicate to and
 
- from the kernel itself. These file systems are virtual in that no disk space is
 
- used for them. The content of the file systems resides in memory.</para>
 
- <para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will be mounted:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS/{proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
 
- <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
 
- mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys</userinput></screen>
 
- <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the LFS
 
- system and start again later, it is important to check that these file
 
- systems are mounted again before entering the chroot
 
- environment.</para>
 
- <para>Additional file systems will soon be mounted from within the
 
- chroot environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake
 
- mount</quote> for each of these now:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>mount -vft tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev
 
- mount -vft tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev/shm
 
- mount -vft devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 devpts $LFS/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
