<title>Creating directories</title>
<?dbhtml filename="creatingdirs.html" dir="chapter05"?>
<para>Let's now create the directory tree on the LFS partition based on
the FHS standard, which can be found at
<ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">http://www.pathname.com/fhs/</ulink>.
Issuing the following commands will create a default directory layout:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cd $LFS &&
mkdir -p bin boot dev/pts etc/opt home lib mnt proc root sbin tmp var opt &&
for dirname in $LFS/usr $LFS/usr/local
do
mkdir $dirname
cd $dirname
mkdir bin etc include lib sbin share src
ln -s share/man
ln -s share/doc
ln -s share/info
cd $dirname/share
mkdir dict doc info locale man nls misc terminfo zoneinfo
cd $dirname/share/man
mkdir man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
done &&
cd $LFS/var &&
mkdir -p lock log mail run spool tmp opt cache lib/misc local &&
cd $LFS/opt &&
mkdir bin doc include info lib man &&
cd $LFS/usr &&
ln -s ../var/tmp</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Normally, directories are created with permission mode 755, which isn't
desired for all directories. The first change is a mode 0750 for the
$LFS/root directory. This is to make sure that not just everybody can
enter the /root directory (the same a user would do with /home/username
directories). The second change is a mode 1777 for the tmp
directories. This way, any user can write data to the /tmp or /var/tmp
directory but cannot remove another user's files (the latter is caused
by the so-called "sticky bit" - bit 1 of the 1777 bit mask).</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cd $LFS &&
chmod 0750 root &&
chmod 1777 tmp var/tmp</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Now that the directories are created, copy the source files that were
downloaded in chapter 3 to some subdirectory under $LFS/usr/src (you
will need to create the desired directory yourself).</para>
<sect2>
<title>FHS compliance notes</title>
<para>The FHS stipulates that the /usr/local directory should contain the
bin, games, include, lib, man, sbin, and share subdirectories. You can
alter your /usr/local directory yourself if you want your system to be
FHS-compliant.</para>
<para>Also, the standard says that there should exist a /usr/share/games
directory, which we don't much like for a base system. But feel free to
make your system FHS-compliant if you wish. The FHS isn't precise as
to the structure of the /usr/local/share subdirectories, so we took the
liberty of creating the directories that we felt were needed.</para>
