<title>Mounting the new partition</title>
<?dbhtml filename="mounting.html" dir="chapter03"?>
<para>Now that we've created a file system, we want to be able to access
the partition. For that, we need to mount it, and have to choose a mount
point. In this book we assume that the file system is mounted under
<filename>/mnt/lfs</filename>, but it doesn't matter what directory
you choose.</para>
<para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the LFS environment variable
by running:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Now create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by running:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
mount /dev/xxx $LFS</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Replace <filename>xxx</filename> with the designation of the LFS
partition.</para>
<para>If you have decided to use multiple partitions for LFS (say one for
<filename>/</filename> and another for <filename>/usr</filename>), mount
them like this:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
mount /dev/xxx $LFS
mkdir $LFS/usr
mount /dev/yyy $LFS/usr</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Of course, replace <filename>xxx</filename> and <filename>yyy</filename>
with the appropriate partition names.</para>
<para>You should also ensure that this new partition doesn't mount with
permissions which are too restrictive (such as the nosuid or nodev options).
You can run the mount command with no parameters to see what options are in use.
If you see nosuid or nodev on the LFS partition, you need to change your mount
options.</para>
<para>Now that we've made ourselves a place to work in, we're ready to download
the packages.</para>
