Not Sure about this

Cigarman · 07-27-2018, 11:22 AM

Hello Folks,

I'm at step 6.2 and when I issue: mkdir -pv $LFS/{dev,proc,sys,run}

dev, proc and sys are already created before the command.

Is this an issue? Shoud they already be there?

I'm using Slackware as my host in a VM.

Thanks in advance

If they are suppose to be there by the instructions given, and you have found the thing that is to be there is indeed already there should you now put what is suppose to be there that is already there there?

I wouldn't sweat it. move on to the next step.

How can they be there before you ran the command?

any other directories already there that you didn't create? If so I would be leary, before proceeding any further, I would make sure I didn't mount the wrong filesystem.

It's strange those are already there.

If it goes wrong here you won't get "spawn ls" at building binutils in chapter 6.
