<title>Mounting the New Partition</title>
<para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
assumed that the file system is mounted under the directory specified by the
<envar>LFS</envar> environment variable as described in the previous section.
</para>
<para>Create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by running:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable><xxx></replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable><xxx></replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
partition.</para>
<para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
class="directory">/home</filename>), mount them using:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable><xxx></replaceable> $LFS
mkdir -v $LFS/home
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable><yyy></replaceable> $LFS/home</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable><xxx></replaceable> and
<replaceable><yyy></replaceable> with the appropriate partition
names.</para>
<para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions that are
too restrictive (such as the <option>nosuid</option> or
<option>nodev</option> options). Run the <command>mount</command> command
without any parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
partition. If <option>nosuid</option> and/or <option>nodev</option> are set,
the partition will need to be remounted.</para>
<warning><para>The above instructions assume that you will not be restarting
your computer throughout the LFS process. If you shut down your system,
you will either need to remount the LFS partition each time you restart
the build process or modify your host system's /etc/fstab file to automatically
remount it upon boot. For example:
<screen role="nodump">/dev/<replaceable><xxx></replaceable> /mnt/lfs ext4 defaults 1 1</screen>
If you use additional optional partitions, be sure to add them also.
</para></warning>
<para>If you are using a <systemitem
class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition, ensure that it is enabled
using the <command>swapon</command> command:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>/sbin/swapon -v /dev/<replaceable><zzz></replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable><zzz></replaceable> with the name of the
<systemitem class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition.</para>
<para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
download the packages.</para>
