Every time I use jhalfs I battle the starting setup. I create a partition, and make a file system in it, Then I mount it at $LFS, usually /mnt/lfs, and check out jhalfs. But what permissions and ownership should $LFS have? Can't spot the answer in the READMEs.
Typically you are going to format and mount the $LFS partition as root. You should downlad and install jhalfs as your normal user but still create the lfs user as in Chapter 4.
The issue you mention occurs when running jhalfs. The mounted partition needs to allow writing as the user running jhalfs. You can do that by either changing the ownership of the mounted lfs partition to the user running jhalfs or changing permissions to 777.
In either case, after booting into your newly built lfs system, change / ownership/permissions to root.root rwxr-xr-x. You probably also need to have sudo set up to allow your user to enter root without a password.
The other alternative is to run jhalfs as root, but I do not do that. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
