hi folks, I have managed to install packages in chapter 5 of LFS ... now im stuck in chapter 6.2 Creating directory ..creating initial device nodes.. But it gives me that the file exist:

Code:

rahimullah@rahimullah-VirtualBox:~$ sudo chown -R root:root $LFS/tools
[sudo] password for rahimullah: 
rahimullah@rahimullah-VirtualBox:~$ echo $LFS
/mnt/lfs
rahimullah@rahimullah-VirtualBox:~$ sudo mkdir -pv $LFS/{dev,proc,sys,run}
rahimullah@rahimullah-VirtualBox:~$ sudo sudo mknod -m 600 $LFS/dev/console c 5 1
mknod: /mnt/lfs/dev/console: File exists
rahimullah@rahimullah-VirtualBox:~$ mknod -m 666 $LFS/dev/null c 1 3
mknod: /mnt/lfs/dev/null: File exists

Thread moved to the LFS forum where there may be users who can best help you with your question.

what does ls /mnt/lfs/dev give? you may have your host dev mount on it, if you get lots of output the thats the problem

sudo chown -R root:root

Use of sudo before the LFS system is standing upon its own boot is highly likely to cause many issues, even if this isn't one of them.

Using sudo to build LFS cause problem a lot.
I suggest to re-build from the start.

Before begin building LFS, be a root user with

Code:

# su -

or if you don't know the root password, e.g; using live cd

Code:

# sudo su -

Code:

$ mv console console2
$ mv null null2
