* toolchaintechnotes: gcc -dumpmachine is similar to config.guess, but not sameXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | Many distros have some customized things in gcc -dumpmachine. RHEL uses x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, and Ubuntu uses x86_64-linux-gnu ("vendor" field omitted). So don't use "same" here, and also mention the "vendor" field is sometimes omitted.
* more clarification of "log in as lfs user"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-292-10/+12
| | | | | | And, don't recommended to "log in as lfs through a DM" anymore: if you log in through a DM then start a terminal emulator, the first shell in the emulator is often a non-login shell. It's not something we expect.
* addinguser: don't say "log in as lfs user"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "log in" is a specifically defined action on UNIces. When you log in as a user, an entry will be added into /run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp. But when you switch to lfs with "su", this won't happen. "man su" also describes "--login" as: Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. It's "similar to" logged in, not "really" logged in. So, don't say "log in" or the users may assume they must really log in as lfs in a VT or DM.
* Polish up the prose in "Toolchain Technical Notes". Fix capitalization.David Bryant2022-09-281-90/+91
| | | | | Rough edges remain. For instance, $LFS_TGT-ld is referenced, but not clearly defined. Will need to discuss wirh other editors to resolve.

* kernel: adjust the instruction for mounting /bootXi Ruoyao2022-09-252-6/+13
| | | | | | LFS and the host may use different /boot configuration, so do not assume they'll share a /boot partition (two different /boot partition or only one with separate /boot are possible).

|
* libelf: add a x86 specific test failureXi Ruoyao2022-09-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | It's caused by a minor GAS issue, which should be fixed in binutils-2.40. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29450 and https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29451.
* mounting: create &fstab; conventional entity and use itXi Ruoyao2022-09-242-2/+3
|
* creatingfilesystem: Refine the condition where a FS is neededXi Ruoyao2022-09-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | For example, a swap partition does not contain any FS. And, if you want to clone a partition, you can use dd if=/dev/<old-partition> of=/dev/<new-partition> then it's unnecessary to create a FS on new-partition before operation. This is sometimes faster than creating a new FS, mounting both partition, then "cp -av" if the old-partition contains many small files.

* Adjust instructions for /dev/shm when creating virtual filesystems.Bruce Dubbs2022-09-208-6/+36
| | | | | | | | | | Some host create /dev/shm as a tmpfs. Some have is as a symlink to a location in another directory. This change handles both cases. The change to the sysV bootscripts now creates /dev/shm as a separate tmpfs from /run. This makes LFS sysV and systemd versions treat /dev/shm the same.
