<title>Mounting the New Partition</title>
<para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
to you.</para>
<para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar>
environment variable by running:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
<para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
running:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
partition.</para>
<para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> $LFS
mkdir -v $LFS/usr
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;yyy&gt;</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> and
<replaceable>&lt;yyy&gt;</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
names.</para>
<para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions that
are too restrictive (such as the <option>nosuid</option>, <option>nodev</option>,
or <option>noatime</option> options). Run the <command>mount</command> command
without any parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
partition. If <option>nosuid</option>, <option>nodev</option>, and/or
<option>noatime</option> are set, the partition will need to be
remounted.</para>
<para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
download the packages.</para>
