1. Does the mount --bind take care of this normally with cut and paste?
Yes. If you have a proper setup on your host (we could be more careful about this), it will have /dev/{pts,shm}. When you bind /dev to $LFS/dev, it brings the whole structure over, including the mount points. Do they not exist on your host, or is the mount --bind not working correctly?
3. Is there a reason not to explicitly create /dev/pts and /dev/shm under $LFS ?
We're expecting them to be there on the host.
4. Is this suitable for the book?
Maybe. I'm not that keen on the history of kernel file systems. All modern linux systems should have /dev/pts and /dev/shm, I think. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
