|  | 12 |  |

|  | 13 | <para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to | 
|---|
|  | 14 | be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be | 
|---|
|  | 15 | mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is | 
|---|
|  | 16 | assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename | 
|---|
|  | 17 | class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up | 
|---|
|  | 18 | to you.</para> | 
|---|
|  | 19 |  | 
|---|
|  | 20 | <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar> | 
|---|
|  | 21 | environment variable by running:</para> | 
|---|
|  | 22 |  | 
|---|
|  | 23 | <screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen> | 
|---|
|  | 24 |  | 
|---|
|  | 25 | <para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by | 
|---|
|  | 26 | running:</para> | 
|---|
|  | 27 |  | 
|---|
|  | 28 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS | 
|---|
|  | 29 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen> | 
|---|
|  | 30 |  | 
|---|
|  | 31 | <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of | 
|---|
|  | 32 | the LFS partition.</para> | 
|---|
|  | 33 |  | 
|---|
|  | 34 | <para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename | 
|---|
|  | 35 | class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename | 
|---|
|  | 36 | class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para> | 
|---|
|  | 37 |  | 
|---|
|  | 38 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS | 
|---|
|  | 39 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS | 
|---|
|  | 40 | mkdir $LFS/usr | 
|---|
|  | 41 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen> | 
|---|
|  | 42 |  | 
|---|
|  | 43 | <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and | 
|---|
|  | 44 | <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition | 
|---|
|  | 45 | names.</para> | 
|---|
|  | 46 |  | 
|---|
|  | 47 | <para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions | 
|---|
|  | 48 | that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev, or noatime options). | 
|---|
|  | 49 | Run the <command>mount</command> command without any parameters to see | 
|---|
|  | 50 | what options are set for the mounted LFS partition. If | 
|---|
|  | 51 | <option>nosuid</option>, <option>nodev</option>, and/or | 
|---|
|  | 52 | <option>noatime</option> are set, the partition will need to be | 
|---|
|  | 53 | remounted.</para> | 
|---|
|  | 54 |  | 
|---|
|  | 55 | <para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to | 
|---|
|  | 56 | download the packages.</para> |
