<title>Mounting the new partition</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Now that we have created the ext2 file system, it is ready for use. All we have
|
|
to do to be able to access it (as in reading from and writing date to it) is
|
|
mounting it. If it is mounted under /mnt/lfs, this partition can be accessed
|
|
by going to the /mnt/lfs directory and then doing whatever needed to do. This
|
|
book will assume that the partition was mounted on a subdirectory
|
|
under /mnt. It doesn't matter which directory is chosen, the user just has
|
|
to make sure
|
|
that he remembers what he chose.
|
|

<para>
|
|
Create the /mnt/lfs directory by runnning:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<userinput>mkdir -p /mnt/lfs</userinput>
|
|
|
|
</literallayout></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Now mount the LFS partition by running:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<userinput>mount /dev/xxx /mnt/lfs</userinput>
|
|
|
|
</literallayout></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Replace <quote>xxx</quote> by the partition's designation.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This directory (/mnt/lfs) is the $LFS variable I have written about earlier.
|
|
So if the user somewhere reads to "cp inittab $LFS/etc" he actually will type
|
|
<quote>cp inittab /mnt/lfs/etc</quote>. Or if he wants to use the $LFS
|
|
environment variable, <userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput> has to be
|
|
executed now. </para>
