Hi guys,

I have a few minor comments for LFS book.

In 6.2. Preparing Virtual Kernel File Systems, constructed mkdir path
always (for me) contains a double slash:
if [ -h $LFS/dev/shm ]; then
   mkdir -pv $LFS/$(readlink $LFS/dev/shm)
fi
Should it be like  mkdir -pv $LFS$(readlink $LFS/dev/shm) ?

Why?  do you have a slash at the end of $LFS?  Not that it makes any difference.

ls //// is the same as ls /

That's what the POXIX standard says.  Try it.

In ch. 8.2. Creating the /etc/fstab File:
While checking setting for my fstab I came across an old article about
dump option, see
http://dump.sourceforge.net/isdumpdeprecated.html

Is there any particular reason to set dump=1 for root file system?

Just tradition. The dump column is for a command named 'dump'. We don't have that as it's quite obsolete. You can set the value in the dump column to anything you want, but you need something there. My view is that the dump column just gives an indication of a physical disk -- so I use 1 for real partitions that can be written (not dvd. etc) and 0 fro everything lese.
