Question on Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems


Hi folks,

LFS 6.1

Went throught preceeding Sections. Now coming to;
6.2. Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...06/kernfs.html

lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/perl-5.8.6$ mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/proc': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/sys': Permission denied
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/perl-5.8.6$ cd ..
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/proc': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/sys': Permission denied
As 'user' of LFS it is not allowed to execute the above command and the rest commands on this Section. I can run
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ su -

to login as root of FC3, the Hos, to run those commands. But it is not on LFS environment. Would there be any problem? Or is there an alternative?

TIA

B.R.

You need to be the root user of your host environment to do this. Make sure though that the LFS variable is set
# echo $LFS
/mnt/lfs

The previous section (6.1) states this.

Hi kjordan,

Tks for your advice.

Yes, it has been mentioned on;
6. Installing Basic System Software
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...m-introduction
Code:
Note

The remainder of this book is to be performed while logged in as user root and no longer as user lfs. Also, double check that $LFS is set.
What I'm worrying is to cause some other files of FC3 Host rewritten as in building LFS 6.0 previously.

I'll proceed in caution.

B.R.

Nothing should be overwritten as long as you have the LFS variable set up correctly.
